Introduction to IEEE 802c SLAP

IEEE 802c defines Local Medium Access Control (MAC) Address Usage and specifies different assignment approaches in four regions of the local MAC address space. Local MAC addresses are not globally unique and can be changed within local administration scope. The SLAP Quadrants and addressing policies are detailed, emphasizing the importance of structured addressing for efficient network management.

2. July 2023 doc.: IEEE 802.11-23/1231r1 Intro to IEEE 802c IEEE 802c defines Local Medium Access Control (MAC) Address Usage It is not a mandatory standard, but it will help to the reuse of the local MAC address space in the future. Structured Local Address Plan (SLAP) specifies different assignment approaches in four specified regions of local MAC address space. Local MAC addresses are not presumed globally unique across all IEEE 802 networks. Unlike universal addresses, which are persistent to the MAC entity, local MAC addresses are not necessarily persistent. The local MAC address assigned to a MAC entity, including any subsequent change to that assignment, is entirely within the scope of the local administration.
