From 8229c8ebd9ba5bed18c8217dc1d293d176d0d8da Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vincent Bernat Date: Sat, 10 May 2014 09:13:02 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] man: more documentation for bond-slave-src-mac-type We document the MAC address used (to be able to find it through Google or `git grep`). We also explain why the default is `fixed` and when it should be changed to `local`. --- src/client/lldpcli.8.in | 13 +++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/client/lldpcli.8.in b/src/client/lldpcli.8.in index bc12aaa2..5b964b05 100644 --- a/src/client/lldpcli.8.in +++ b/src/client/lldpcli.8.in @@ -247,7 +247,8 @@ Slave real mac .It Sy zero All zero mac .It Sy fixed -An arbitrary fixed value (from a 3Com card) +An arbitrary fixed value +.Li ( 00:60:08:69:97:ef ) .It Sy local Real mac with locally administered bit set.
