Why do you find it necessary to spoof a MAC address?

What are you trying to achieve? To clone a Solaris system for production you generally don't need to alter the hardware MAC address because it has no bearing on anything. You might need to change the hostid of the system but not the MAC address.

Changing MAC address of a NIC

All, I have a need to software change the MAC address of a NIC in a Sparc Ultra 10 - I believe there is a command that allows to do this at boot up? Is it a missing (to me) part of ifconfig ? If so, what is the syntax? All replies gratefully received ! Thanks Andrew (3 Replies)

SHOREWALL6-MACLIST(5)						  [FIXME: manual]					     SHOREWALL6-MACLIST(5)

NAME
maclist - shorewall6 MAC Verification file SYNOPSIS
/etc/shorewall6/maclist DESCRIPTION
This file is used to define the MAC addresses and optionally their associated IPv6 addresses to be allowed to use the specified interface. The feature is enabled by using the maclist option in the shorewall6-interfaces[1](5) or shorewall6-hosts[2](5) configuration file. The columns in the file are as follows. DISPOSITION - {ACCEPT|DROP|REJECT}[:log-level] ACCEPT or DROP (if MACLIST_TABLE=filter in shorewall6.conf[3](5), then REJECT is also allowed). If specified, the log-level causes packets matching the rule to be logged at that level. INTERFACE - interface Network interface to a host. MAC - address MAC address of the host -- you do not need to use the shorewall6 format for MAC addresses here. If IP ADDRESSESES is supplied then MAC can be supplied as a dash (-) IP ADDRESSES (Optional) - [address[,address]...] If specified, both the MAC and IP address must match. This column can contain a comma-separated list of host and/or subnet addresses. If your kernel and ip6tables have iprange match support then IP address ranges are also allowed. Similarly, if your kernel and ip6tables include ipset support than set names (prefixed by "+") are also allowed. FILES
