Intel® Ethernet Adapters and Devices User Guide
Locally Administered Address
The Locally Administered Address overrides the initial MAC address with a user- assigned MAC address. To enter a new network address, type a 12-digit hexadecimal number in this box.
To change this setting in Intel® PROSet:
This setting is found on the Advanced tab of the device’s Device Manager property sheet or in the Adapter Settings panel in Intel® PROSet Adapter Configuration Utility (Intel® PROSet ACU).
To change this setting in Windows PowerShell*, use the
Set-IntelNetAdapterSetting -Name "<adapter_name>" -DisplayName "Locally Administered Address" -DisplayValue "<desired address>"
Possible values for this setting are:
0000 0000 0001 - FFFF FFFF FFFD
Exceptions:
Do not use a multicast address (Least Significant Bit of the high byte = 1). For example, in the address 0Y123456789A, Y cannot be an odd number. (Y must be 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, A, C, or E.)
Do not use all zeros or all Fs.
If you do not enter an address, the address is the original network address of the adapter. For example:
Multicast: 0123 4567 8999 Broadcast: FFFF FFFF FFFF Unicast (legal): 0070 4567 8999
In a team, Intel PROSet uses either of the following:
The primary adapter’s permanent MAC address if the team does not have an LAA configured
The team’s LAA if the team has an LAA configured
Intel PROSet does not use an adapter’s LAA if the adapter is the primary adapter in a team and the team has an LAA.
