The label attached to the bottom of the FB2500 shows what MAC address range that unit uses, using a compact notation, as highlighted in Figure C.1 :-
In this example, the range is specified as :-
000397:147C-F
this is interpreted as :-
00:03:97:14:7
C:00
)F:FF
)Therefore this range spans 00:03:97:14:7C:00
to 00:03:97:14:7F:FF
inclusive (1024 addresses).
If you trying to identify an IP address allocation,
note that the exact address used within this range depends on a number of factors ; generally you should look for an IP address allocation against
any of the addresses in the range.
Alternatively, if the range specification doesn't include a hyphen, it specifies that all addresses in the range start with this 'prefix' - the first address in the range will have zero for all the remaining digits, and the last address in the range will have F for all the remaining digits. For example :-
000397:147C
is interpreted as :
00:03:97:14:7C
Therefore this range spans 00:03:97:14:7C:00
to 00:03:97:14:7C:FF
inclusive (256 addresses).
