Changing the MAC address
On rare occasions it may be necessary to change the Ethernet hardware or MAC
Address of your Shiva VPN Gateway’s Internet port. The MAC address is a globally
unique address and is specific to a single Shiva VPN Gateway. It is set by the
manufacturer and should not normally be changed. However, you may need to
change it if your ISP has configured your ADSL or cable modem to only communicate
with a device with a known MAC address.
To change the MAC address:
1 Click Network Setup .
2. Select Edit Ethernet configuration for the Internet port.
3. Specify the new MAC address and click Apply .
