Technical Tip: How to pick up MAC address changes in Spectrum.
CA Spectrum Tech Tip by Shane Ryan, Support Engineer
Description:
A device's MAC address is read during the discovery and will be updated only if the network address changes.
So if a MAC address gets changed and the network address doesn t change for that management port then the change will not get picked up by Spectrum.
Solution:
To pick up the change in Spectrum, the Network Address must be changed (i.e change it another IP address and change it back to the original) or rediscover the device.
