changeing the MAC addresses on NICS
I am having trouble changing the MAC addresses on 2 nics i want to configure for IPMP.

I have set local-mac-address?= to true.

I have used ifconfig ce0 ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx command to set to the mac i want.

BUT, when i reboot, they keep reverting back to some other mac address.

I have tried to do this when the interfaces were down / up and it makes no difference.

Has anyone had this trouble before? this is a new V890 we just got running Solaris 9 - 09/05

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

I think if you set the local-mac-address?= to true, you don't need set the MAC address for network interface, after reboot the network card will be set a real MAC address and they should different.
