addresses are stored in LAN riser card which is a required option of CPU blade.
The number of MAC addresses stored in card depends on type of LAN riser card.
1G-LAN (N8403-061): 2
10G-LAN (N8403-062): 8
10G-iSCSI (N8403-064): 16
A MAC address is indicated in the area of LAN riser card as shown in the figure below.
The address of LAN port depends on the numeral and alphabet of the last digit of MAC address.
