375.0. "How do you determine the MAC address for a device?" by TENNIS::KAM (Kam USDS (714)261-4133 (DTN 535) IVO) Thu Sep 02 1993 13:45

    In configuring the DECagent 90 it request the MAC address.  Is this
    some address chosen by the System Manager?  Supplying the ethernet
    address seemed to satisfy the input requirement.
    
    I thought the MAC address and the ethernet address COULD or WAS
    different.

375.1	MAC == Ethernet	SLINK::HOOD	I'd rather be surfing	`Thu Sep 02 1993 16:57`	1
	The MAC address IS the Ethernet address (or FDDI address or Token Ring address).
375.2	Just to stir things up a bit...	ROGER::GAUDET	Because the Earth is 2/3 water	`Fri Sep 17 1993 16:21`	4
	Which, of course, should not be confused with the DECnet address, which is definitely different from the MAC address. ...Roger...
