Alphastation 200 4/100 running OSF/1 3.2A...

I have a second ethernet interface on a machine I am using as a backup
server. I want to configure this second ethernet interface with the same
IP and MAC address as the server so that I can just unplug one and plug
the other in to switch between machines. How do I change the MAC address
on my ethernet card?

Also, if anybody knows how to make my Alpha send a gratuitous arp to the
router, I could do that instead.

TIA,

Mike
