Tisk tisk!! Hehehee, you cheated Tim. hahahaha. See, I have eyes in here too.

Well, the quick answer is NOT POSSIBLE. The long answer is this:

Cisco's Catalyst OS makes a pool of 1024 addresses available to the switch.
The switch will assign
addresses to each VLAN, PORT, etc. sequentially until it is exhausted. THe
SC0 gets the last address
in the first module's range.

This is ALL BURNED IN AND NOT CHANGEABLE EASILY. Or so I have been told ...

Hard answer is that it is doable in ENGINEERING MODE or something. So I am
still digging for this.
It is kind of interesting that Cisco itself has absolutely NO MENTION of the
fact that it is not
easily changeable :-(

I mean on a router you just do:

mac-address 0022.3344.5566

and bam!

:-))
