| Zusammenfassung: | 1. Field of the Invention
An apparatus and method are provided for adapting a link layer address of a network device. A first input/output port is connected to receive data from a first network node The first input/output port has a link layer address and is configurable to one of a plurality of link layer addresses. A second input/output port is connected to output the data to a second network node The second input/output port has a link layer address and is configurable to one of a plurality of link layer addresses. A processor adapts the link layer address of the first input/output port to correspond to a link layer address of the second network node and adapts the link layer address of the second input/output port to correspond to a link layer address of the first network node |
