Ethernet Settings (MAC Addresses) screen
To access this screen, click the Network Settings (MACs) link in the left VC Manager navigation window,
or click Network Settings in the Network section of the Home page.
This screen lists the MAC Address type and range that will be used when creating server profiles. This
screen is the same as the MAC Addresses Settings screen used in the Network Setup Wizard.
The Type field identifies what MAC addresses will be assigned to server blades deployed within the
Virtual Connect environment. HP provides a number of pre-defined MAC address ranges or you can
choose to enter a range of locally-owned MAC addresses. HP does not recommend using the server
factory default because these addresses do not move when the server profile is assigned to a new
physical server blade.
When using HP pre-defined or user-defined MAC address ranges, only use each range once within the
domain to avoid multiple servers having the same MAC addresses. After MAC addresses have been
assigned as part of creating a server profile, this setting cannot be changed.
The screen can be changed only by users with network privileges. No changes in MAC address ranges
are permitted after server profiles are created. You must delete all server profiles to change the MAC
address range settings.
