Configuring the MAC address of an Ethernet interface or

subinterface

In a network, when the Layer 3 Ethernet interfaces or subinterfaces of different devices have the same

MAC address, the devices might fail to communicate correctly. To eliminate the MAC address conflicts,

use the mac-address command to modify the MAC addresses of Layer 3 Ethernet interfaces or

subinterfaces.

Additionally, when a Layer 3 Ethernet subinterface is created, it uses the MAC address of its main

interface by default. As a result, all Layer 3 Ethernet subinterfaces of a Layer 3 Ethernet interface share

the same MAC address. To configure a different MAC address for a specific Layer 3 Ethernet

subinterface, use the mac-address command.

To configure the MAC address of an Ethernet interface or subinterface:

3. Configure the MAC address

of the Ethernet interface or

subinterface.

mac-address mac-address

The default MAC address of a Layer 3

Ethernet subinterface is the same as the

MAC address of its host interface.

HP recommends not configuring a

MAC address in the VRRP-reserved

MAC address range for a Layer 3

Ethernet subinterface.

Displaying and maintaining an Ethernet interface or

subinterface

Execute display commands in any view and reset commands in user view.

Task Command

Display interface traffic statistics.

display counters { inbound | outbound } interface [ interface-type

[ interface-number | interface-number.subnumber ] ]
