mac-address (ATM)
To configure the MAC address on ATM permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) in a broadband access (BBA) group to use a different MAC address for PPP over Ethernet over ATM (PPPoEoA), use the mac-address command in BBA group configuration mode. To remove a MAC address, use the no form of this command.
mac-address {autoselect | mac-address}
no mac-address {autoselect | mac-address}
Syntax Description
autoselect |
Automatically selects the MAC address based on the ATM interface. |
mac-address |
MAC address (MAC value) to be used on ATM interfaces, entered as a series of three hexadecimal numbers presented in dotted notation. Example: 0100.CCCC.CCCD. |
Command Default
The use of MAC addresses will not change unless this command is configured.
Command Modes
BBA group configuration (config-bba-group)

Usage Guidelines
Use of this command changes the MAC address, but otherwise does not change the way PPPoE works.
Use the mac-address command to configure the MAC address on ATM PVCs in a BBA group so there will be a different MAC address for PPPoEoA.
If a PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) profile is not specified with the group option, PPPoE sessions will be established using values from the global PPPoE profile. PPPoE profiles must be configured using the bba-group pppoe command.
Examples
The following example configures the MAC address on an ATM PVC in a BBA group using values from the global PPPoE profile by specifying the MAC address:
Router(config)# bba-group pppoe global
Router(config-bba-group)# virtual-template 1
Router(config-bba-group)# mac-address 1.1.3
The following example uses the autoselect option to configure the MAC address automatically on an ATM PVC in a BBA group using a group profile:
Router(config)# bba-group pppoe vpn1
Router(config-bba-group)# virtual-template 1
Router(config-bba-group)# mac-address autoselect
