Abstract:
A docking device includes a bus interface and a network interface controller. The bus interface is configured to be connected to a host device. The network interface controller is coupled to the bus interface and configured to receive a host-based MAC address of the host device and load the host-based MAC address for a network communication, if the host device is connected to the docking device via the bus interface. The host-based MAC address is stored in a table with a vendor specific format structure in a BIOS of the host device.

Claim (Index 16):
A mac address cloning method, comprising\n loading, by a network interface controller of a docking device, a default MAC address stored in a memory of the docking device for a network communication; parsing, by a NIC driver, a table with a vendor specific format structure stored in a BIOS of a host device connected to the docking device to obtain a host-based MAC address corresponding to the host device; transmitting, by the NIC driver, the host-based MAC address via a bus interface to the docking device; and loading, by the network interface controller, the host-based MAC address for the network communication if the host device is connected to the docking device.
