Configuring the MAC address controls for a virtual Ethernet adapter

By using the Hardware Management Console (HMC), you can configure the MAC address controls of a virtual Ethernet adapter of a logical partition during logical partition creation, during partition profile modification, or when dynamically adding a virtual Ethernet adapter. You can also specify controls to MAC address overrides that are specified at the operating-system level.
