  Burned-in address - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In some cases this address can be overridden by the user, in these cases the second bit of the most significant byte of the Organisationally Unique Identifier (OUI) is changed to a binary 1.
In this case the NIC is said to be using as a Locally Administered Address (LAA) as its MAC address.
In this case the NIC is said to be using a Universally Administered Address (UAA) as its MAC address.

Local policies or the requirements of applications or other network components may impose additional structure, for example a hierarchical structure.
It is the address consisting of all one bits, and by convention denotes all stations on the LAN.
Note that the Broadcast Address is effectively a universal assignment, even though it has the format of a locally administered group address.

 MAC address - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
MAC addresses permanently attached to a product by the manufacturer are known as "burned-in addresses" (BIA) or sometimes as "Universally Administered Addresses" (UAA).
The broadcast address, all one bits, is received by all stations on a local area network.
As a MAC address can be changed, it can be unwise to rely on this as a single method of authentication.

 Standard Group MAC Addresses Tutorial
A Universally Administered Address Block has been allocated for the assignment of Group MAC Addresses for use in Standards.
The 48-bit address (universal or local) is represented as a string of six octets.
Potential users of these addresses should be aware that, since these addresses are derived from the locally administered address space, there are no guarantees that the addresses will be used only for the listed purposes.

 Programmed LAA - Locally Administered Address   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
This option allows you to specify the LAA for the adapter to use as a station address instead of the unique node address provided during manufacture.
The LAA must be 12 hexadecimal digits long and it is up to the user to ensure that a unique address is used for each node.
In addition, the first bit of the address must be clear, and the second bit set (setting the first character to '4', '5', '6', or '7' satisfies this requirement).

 Zvon - RFC 1469 [IP Multicast over Token-Ring Local Area Networks] - Destination Address Format
Addresses supplied to or received from token ring interfaces are usually laid out in memory with the bits of each octet in the opposite order from that illustrated, i.e., with bit 0 in the high-order (leftmost) position within the octet.
Universally administered addresses are those specified by a standards organization such as the IEEE.
Different functional addresses are made by setting one of the remaining 31 bits in the address field.

 Understanding the token-ring address format
0: The destination address is an individual address (an address that is associated with a device on the network).
1: The administrator defined the address (it is a locally administered address).
A source address is always an individual address (that is, an address that is associated with a device on the network).

 IBM Networking | IBM Token-Ring PCI Family Adapter
The local address must contain 12 hexadecimal characters and can be specified in either most-significant bit (MSB), which is the default, or least-significant bit (LSB) format.
To specify a node address in MSB format, append an "M" to the end of the address (for example, 400000000001M).
If you do not assign a locally administered address, the adapter uses the universally administered address (the address encoded in the adapter memory at the factory).

 NC Exchange - Articles What is a MAC Address
A MAC address is an identifier physically stored inside a network card or similar network interface and used to assign globally unique addresses in some OSI model Layer 2 networks, and in the physical layer of the Internet protocol suite.
Ethernet MAC addresses are typically given as a string of 12 hexadecimal digits.
This a group of addresses in the 0x0100.5Enn.nnnn range (where n is any hexadecimal number) that allows a subset of NICs in a LAN to be addressed.

 Changing MAC Address
A Locally administered address (LAA) can be implemented to ensure a unique HW address.
Setting the LAA bit can be done by using a 0A hex (second bit set 1010, add 2) as the first digit instead of 08 (1000).
A sometimes crude method is to ping the broadcast address and randomly choose a number that is not being used on the network.

 Token Ring Secrets
In previous versions of the standard, the least significant 14 bits of the first two bytes of the address were defined as the ring ID, allowing hierarchical addressing (a practice that is now discouraged).
Therefore, the following sets of locally administered addresses should be used with care: X'40 00 xx xx xx xx', X'7F FF xx xx xx xx', X'C0 00 xx xx xx xx', and X'FF FF xx xx xx xx' (where x is any hexadecimal value).
Here's the rub: When using locally administered addresses in these ranges, it is possible for the Duplicate Address Test to fail when another station is using an address that only differs by the first bytes.

Locally administered addresses (LAA) are MAC addresses which have the second least significant bit (LSB) of the first octect is set to '1' (for example, 'xxxxxx1x'.
When an LAA is assigned, it overrides the in-memory copy of the Global address during driver initialization.
Broadcast address is a special case where all bits of the MAC address are set to '1' (e.g.

 Freedom from IP address overload
Many of these same companies added to the paperwork hell by mandating the manual assignment of a locally administered address for each network adapter, which overrode the burned-in network adapter ID. The resulting workload was a millstone around network administrators' necks.
We asked that the tools support the DNS and DHCP specifications, be able to assign IP addresses across multiple routed subnet domains, track and report on address assignments, and work in a heterogeneous platform environment (see "How we did it").
Whether it's a Class A, B or C address, an IP address should be relevant to the computer or network device to which it's assigned.

 Changing the Locally Administered Address
When you connect to an IBM host, it is possible that a locally administered address (LAA) has been associated with the IBM host resources for connection to a Windows 2000 Professional–based computer.
On the IBM host side of the connection, LAAs usually are configured on either a Cluster Controlleror on the computer that is running SNA Server.
An LAA rather than a burned-in Universally Administered Address (UAA) on the network adapter is used so that neither the Cluster Controller nor the computer that is running SNA Server has to be reconfigured every time a network interface card card must be replaced on a workstation that is running Windows 2000 Professional.

 MAC address - free-definition   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
In computer networking a media access control address (MAC address) is a code on most forms of networking equipment that allows for that device to be uniquely identified.
Some ISPs bind their service to a specific MAC address; if the user then changes their network card or intends to install a router, the service won't work anymore.
Under Windows XP, the MAC address can be changed in the Ethernet adapter's Properties menu, in the Advanced tab, as "MAC Address", "Locally Administered Address", or "Ethernet Address".
