Embodiment Construction

[0034] In order to make the object, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the present invention, not to limit the present invention.

[0035] Such as figure 1 Shown is a block diagram of the present invention programming MAC address system. The system includes a network device 100 and a MAC address server 200. The network device 100 includes a system CPU, a MAC address reading module, a storage module, a clock module, a MAC address generating module, a network module, and a programming module.

[0036] The MAC address server stores and distributes the MAC addresses that need to be programmed, and reserves the MAC address distribution interface, so that when the device that needs to be programmed with the MAC address accesses this...

Abstract

A system for writing MAC addresses comprises network equipment and an MAC address server for storing and distributing MAC addresses, wherein the network equipment includes an MAC address reading module, a clock module, an MAC address generation module, and a network module; the MAC address reading module is used for determining whether the network equipment has an MAC addresses, if no, the clock module is needed to transmit the current time; the clock module is used for transmitting the current time to the MAC address generation module according to the MAC address determination result; the MAC address generation module is used for receiving the current time from the clock module and generating an MAC address; the network module is used for sending a request to the MAC address server to acquire the MAC address by use of the MAC address generated according to the current time; and the MAC address server is used for transmitting the MAC address to the network equipment after determining that the MAC address request is legal. By using the current time as the MAC address instead of a fixed MAC address to request for the MAC address, the system can reduce the working procedures and improve the production efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of network technology, in particular to a system and method for programming MAC addresses. Background technique [0002] Network products such as Internet TV, etc., need to use network cards. Each network card must have a globally unique MAC address in order to legally connect to the Internet. As the unique identifier of a network device, the MAC address needs to be generated differently for each network device, which reduces the efficiency of large-scale generation. [0003] At present, in the generation process of network products, most of them use EEPROM writer as a programming tool to program the MAC address. This programming method can only program one MAC address at a time. It is very easy to cause the MAC address to be copied repeatedly or missed. [0004] In addition, there are also some methods of programming MAC through serial port connection, but this programming method is a single-machine distributed op...
