Chapter 5 Advanced Setup

MAC Address Cloning

Selecting

MAC

Address Cloning in the “Advanced Configuration” screen generates

the “

MAC

Address Cloning” screen. A

MAC

(media access control) address is an

identifier unique to every networkable device. Some Internet Service Providers
(

ISP)

require a

MAC

address to validate a computer’s permission to be on their net-

work. If the

ISP

requires this information, obtain the

MAC

address of the computer

originally configured for the

ISP

(see Appendix D for instructions to determine the

computer’s

MAC

address). Enter the

MAC

address in the “User Select

WAN MAC

Address” text boxes in the “

MAC

Address Cloning” screen.
