Why assign MAC Address manually to IP phone in CME
If I am not wrong when IP phone registers with CME , we will be able to see the MAC address of the phone, by typing in CME : show ephone
However I have seen Admins assigning MAC address manually :
ephone 1
mac-address aaaa.aaaa.aaaa
What is the purpose of changing MAC addresses?
Any idea ?
Thank

What I think Statically typing MAC address reason is, may be for CME reboots or IP phone reboots.
on CME we configure : ephone-dn and number
if we do not configure static MAC, then the ephone-dn and number can be assigned to different IP Phone when there is a reboot of either devices ....That's my Guess

There is no need for the Administrator to type it manually.
Example:
ephone 1
mac-address aaaa.aaaa.aaaa
