Bug: Configuration also stores MAC address
Verfasst: Freitag 7. Februar 2014, 21:24
Having several NET-PwrCtrl HUT (v. HUT 5.0) to configure, I wanted to use " Konfiguration speichern" and then " Konfiguration wiederherstellen" for the other devices.
But the .cfg file also stores the MAC address, and when restoring to another device, the original MAC address is lost, and replaced with the MAC of the first device. Having duplicate MAC addresses on a network is even worse than duplicate IPs. As a result, access to both devices is broken.
Please consider protecting the original MAC address when retsoring a configuration from another device.
Thank you.
