There are reserved MAC-addresses (EEPROM) for the switch data ports, and one would expect the network devices to be assigned these MAC-addresses. Running 'ip link show port' show that the port has ben allocated th MAC-address from the Base-Mac burned on the EEPROM.
Actual Behavior
Running ip link show port1 gives the following ouput:
9: port1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 42:34:49:0b:88:9b brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
Expected Behavior
There are reserved MAC-addresses (EEPROM) for the switch data ports, and one would expect the network devices to be assigned these MAC-addresses. Running 'ip link show port' show that the port has ben allocated th MAC-address from the Base-Mac burned on the EEPROM.
Actual Behavior
Running
ip link show port1gives the following ouput:Which is a pseudo-randomly generated MAC
