| A very
important part of the information for a device is the ethernet
address which it will use. This information is a fixed part of the
device (more precisely, the interface of the device to the network). Frequently,
a new device registration is made before this information is known. We
therefore ask users to supply it as soon as possible. The method to find
this information varies according to the device and software being used. |
|
The ethernet address
is 12 hexadecimal (0-9, A-F) digits, of which the first six specify the
maker of the interface and the last six are unique. On some systems this
address is already printed on a label, either outside the system or inside
on the interface card which has the network connector. |
