as access manage-mac
Function
The as access manage-mac command configures the management MAC address of an AS.
The undo as access manage-mac command restores the default management MAC address of an AS.
By default, an AS uses the system MAC address as the management MAC address.
This command can only be executed on an AS.
Parameters
| Parameter | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| mac-address | Specifies the management MAC address of an AS. |
The value is in H-H-H format, where H is a hexadecimal number of 1 to 4 digits. The value cannot be all 0s, all Fs, or a multicast MAC address. |
Usage Guidelines
Usage Scenario
In a Super Virtual Fabric (SVF) system, each AS has a unique management MAC address to identify itself. By default, an AS uses its system MAC address as the management MAC address to connect to an SVF system. When the management MAC address of an AS conflicts with that of another AS, you can run the as access manage-mac command to change the management MAC address so as to prevent MAC address conflicts.
Precautions
Use of this command is not recommended when no MAC address conflict occurs, as an improper management MAC address may affect service operations.
This command can be used only before an AS connects an SVF system. If an AS has connected to an SVF system, use of this command is not allowed.
Before using this command to change the management MAC address of an AS, you must run the undo as access manage-mac command to delete the existing management MAC address.
