[SOLVED] Change MAC address on Quanta LY2R

[mailinglists]

Hi guys,

can anyone help me permanently or temporarily change MAC address with U-Boot on Quanta LY2R?

This does not work:

=> setenv ethaddr CENSORED:AA
=> saveenv
Saving Environment to Flash...
Un-Protected 1 sectors
Erasing Flash...
. done
Erased 1 sectors
Writing to Flash... 9....8....7....69....8....7....6....5....4....3....2....1....done
Protected 1 sectors

QNOS still shows original MAC address.

                                                Prototype Open API

Some other "FASTPATH" firmware (whathever was on this, before I installed QNOS) showed the changed MAC in OS (show version), but not QNOS. QNOS shows MAC as written in flash.

So I guess saveenv somehow does not save MAC address to flash.

I might be successful in saving the MAC to flash, if I erase that part of flash first.
Any ideas how to find that part of flash?

If anyone cares, I managed to permanently change the mac address. Details can be given in private, if you msg me. It takes quite some effort, but works.

Now, if anyone has valid QNOS license for any MAC, please let me know... in private. Sadly Quanta won't sell me any for switches I have got, due to EOL, EOW and ODM. :-/
