If the field marked MAC address for the external network is
cleared and the Firebox X Edge is restarted, the Firebox X Edge
uses the standard MAC address for the external network.
To decrease problems with MAC addresses, the Firebox X Edge
makes sure that the MAC address you assign to the external inter-
face is unique on your network. If the Edge finds a device using the
same MAC address, the Firebox changes back to the standard MAC
add
ress for the external interface. Then it restarts.
