Objective

A MAC address is a 12-digit code assigned to a unique piece of hardware for network identification purposes. Usually it is required to have the MAC addresses of your devices registered with your ISP for security reasons. If you previously registered your account with another MAC address, it may be convenient to assign that MAC address to your current device. The MAC Address Clone feature helps you avoid the re-registration of MAC addresses by assigning the current MAC address to the device.

This article explains how to configure MAC Address Clone feature on the SPA100 Series.

Applicable Devices
