installing. Interrupt autoboot and run `printenv` to note down:
`2gMAC`, `5gMAC`, `6gMAC`, `LANMAC`, and `WANMAC`.

## Giving the Unit a Permanent MAC Address

Infix does not read the stock U-Boot environment, so the unit boots
with random Ethernet addresses until it is given a product record.
Store one as `/mnt/aux/vpd.bin`, from the Infix shell, using the
`WANMAC` noted down above as the base address:

```
echo '{"mac-address":"<WANMAC>","serial-number":"<serial>","vendor":"Acer","product-name":"Connect Vero W6m"}' \
| onieprom -e > /mnt/aux/vpd.bin
```

After a reboot the ports get fixed offsets from the base address and
the WiFi interfaces derive theirs from it. See
[Vital Product Data](../../../doc/vpd.md#vpd-file-on-the-aux-partition)
for the record format.

The right value for `<N>` depends on the stock U-Boot version, it is
usually 7 or 9. Type `bootmenu` at the prompt to list the entries,
then count down from the top, starting at 0, until you reach
*U-Boot console*. Do not use the number shown in the menu. In
this example the console is the tenth entry, so `<N>` is 9:

## Giving the Unit a Permanent MAC Address

Infix does not read the stock U-Boot environment, so the unit boots
with random Ethernet addresses until it is given a product record.

Acer allocates one address per interface (`LANMAC`, `WANMAC`, `2gMAC`,
`5gMAC` and `6gMAC`), and they are not a consecutive range. Infix
derives every address from a single base, so using one of the Acer
addresses as the base would hand out addresses Acer never assigned to
this unit. Instead, give the product record a private (locally
administered) base address, then set the real Acer addresses on the
interfaces themselves.

1. **Create the product record** from the Infix shell, with a random
private base address:

```
set -- $(od -An -N4 -tx1 /dev/urandom)
echo "{\"mac-address\":\"02:$1:$2:$3:$4:00\",\"serial-number\":\"<serial>\",\"vendor\":\"Acer\",\"product-name\":\"Connect Vero W6m\"}" \
| onieprom -e > /mnt/aux/vpd.bin
```

The leading `02` marks the address as locally administered, so it
can never clash with a vendor-assigned one. See [Vital Product
Data](../../../doc/vpd.md#vpd-file-on-the-aux-partition) for the
record format.

2. **Set the Acer addresses** with `custom-phys-address`, using the
values noted down from the stock U-Boot environment:

| Interface | Address |
|------------|----------|
| `br0` | `LANMAC` |
| `internet` | `WANMAC` |
| `wifi0-ap` | `2gMAC` |
| `wifi1-ap` | `6gMAC` |
| `wifi2-ap` | `5gMAC` |

```
admin@vero:/> configure
admin@vero:/config/> set interface br0 custom-phys-address static <LANMAC>
admin@vero:/config/> set interface internet custom-phys-address static <WANMAC>
admin@vero:/config/> set interface wifi0-ap custom-phys-address static <2gMAC>
admin@vero:/config/> set interface wifi1-ap custom-phys-address static <6gMAC>
admin@vero:/config/> set interface wifi2-ap custom-phys-address static <5gMAC>
admin@vero:/config/> leave
admin@vero:/> copy running-config startup-config
```

Interfaces without a `custom-phys-address`, such as `lan1`-`lan3`,
keep addresses derived from the private base. See [Custom MAC
Address](../../../doc/iface.md#custom-mac-address) for details.

Reboot after step 1 so the new base address takes effect.
