-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 http://www.rootshell.com/archive-j457nxiqi3gq59dv/199807/changemac.c.ht ml Now, despite the claim of this fooling the hubs/switches, without a specially-written device driver, the MAC address change will set a high HEX bit to a special value in the MAC address to indicate a software change - Cabletron's smart switches doing VLAN and VFast Secure management software for VLAN under Cabletron are set to detect that high bit and act accordingly when doing ACL-based access.
