Description
This article explains how to override the manufacturer-burned MAC address for a network interface.
Scope
FortiOS firmware version 4.00 MR2
FortiOS firmware version 4.00 MR3
FortiOS firmware version 5.0.x
Solution
The MAC address or MAC entry of a FortiGate unit network interface can be set with the following CLI command:
|
#config system interface
#edit int
#set macaddr <xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx>
#end
Note: <xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx> is the address to be set.
|
This command will override the factory-set MAC address of this network interface, by specifying a new MAC address in the format xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.
This is only used for physical interfaces or the MAC entry may be set in the transparent mode.
