Abstract:
A device implementing a dynamic local media access control (MAC) address assignment system may include at least one processor that is configured to initiate a link establishment with a network device. The at least one processor may be further configured to determine whether a previously assigned media access control (MAC) address is stored locally. The at least one processor may be further configured to transmit a message to the network device requesting validation of the previously assigned MAC address when stored locally. The at least one processor may be further configured to communicate using the previously assigned MAC address when the validation is received from the network device, otherwise communicating using a dynamically assigned MAC address received from the network device during the link establishment.

Claim (Index 15):
A computer program product comprising code stored in a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the code comprising:\n code to transmit a media access control (MAC) address request packet comprising a first device identifier and addressed to a first multicast address; code to receive one or more MAC address response packets each comprising a second device identifier and a dynamically assigned MAC address, the one or more MAC address response packets being addressed to a broadcast address; code to determine, for each of the one or more MAC address response packets, whether the second device identifier matches the first device identifier; code to discard the one or more MAC address response packets when the second device identifier does not match the first device identifier; and code to communicate using the dynamically assigned MAC address from one of the one or more MAC address response packets for which the second device identifier matches the first device identifier.
