Is there a way to Spoof a MAC Address tied to lan 0

[KPS]

Hi I have a system that we just swapped out a controller on and the MAC Address has changed on lan0. We have some Apps that run licensing off of that MAC Address that are now not running. My question is this?

Is there a way to spoof this MAC Address and force it to what it used to be prior to the Controller SwapOut?

Thanks,

Look in /etc/rc.config.d and find the configuration file that corresponds to your card or on-board ethernet port (hpbtlanconf, hpetherconf, ...)

set the STATION_ADDRESS[n]=old_mac_address

Reboot and you should be in business.

In SAM:
"Networking and Communications" -> "Network
interface cards" -> Select lan0 -> "Actions" ->
"Modify.." -> "Advanced Options"

The config file stuff will do what you want. You should though also either get the vendor(s) to migrate the licenses to the new MAC, or better still, find some way to license the software that isn't tied to hardware that may need to be replaced during the life of the system.

The simplest way to do this is to insert the "old card's MAC address" in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file as Clay has suggested.

Thanks everyone for your feedback. I got this to work and we're in business here with the old MAC that used to be assigned.

Thanks again!
