Question

Where can I find my HFC MAC address on the SB6141 modem?

Answer

When provisioning the modem, the Cable service provider may request the HFC MAC ID of the modem.  The label on the bottom of the SB6141 contains the Media Access Control (MAC) address, a unique, 48-bit value permanently saved in ROM at the factory to identify each Ethernet network device.  To receive data service, the MAC address marked HFC MAC ID will need to be provided to the Internet Service Provider.  The HFC MAC ID is also known as the CMAC Address.  This document includes the following sections:
