| Parameter | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| sysmac-file |
Specifies a text file for MAC address allocation. |
The value is a string of 1 to 31 case-sensitive characters, spaces not supported. |
| slot slotid |
Specifies a slot ID of the main board that loads MAC addresses assigned to VSs. |
The value range varies with device hardware. |
Usage Scenario
In multi-VS scenarios, each VS requires a MAC address. By default, multiple MAC addresses have been loaded on the main control board when a device is delivered. If a message indicating that MAC addresses are insufficient when you create a VS, run the sysmac load command to load a MAC address for the new VS.
Precautions
The command is an overriding one. You can run the command several times to load MAC addresses for VSs; however, only the last configuration takes effect.
Generally, the file for loading MAC addresses for multiple VSs is, by default, saved in the root directory on the CF card. If a file for loading MAC addresses assigned to multiple VSs does not exist in the root directory on the CF card, contact Huawei technical support personnel.
