Okay, so you can change the MAC of an interface to just about anything. How can the original MAC be “read” back if you don’t know it, aside from /sys reset?
Add another to Mike’s “Don’ts”: Cloning devices with an export without taking ALL the extra stuff out…
they added this command in a recent release because of some vrrp issues i had with changing MACs on me…
/int eth reset-mac X

Thanks Sam, now I need /int wireless reset-mac for my wireless interfaces.
sometimes that radio name gets the MAC - is that still the original radio name or has it been changed? I didn’t realize that the reset-mac was only for wired cards… oh well.

When I used the /export file to make a clone config, I left the all the wireless settings intact and passed everything over to a stack of RB112s. I’m pulling them open one by one to read the MACs from each card.
Maybe MT will add that tool to wireless as well.
Edit>> The thing I tried that seemed natural would be to set the MAC as null or empty and then the default would return…
