“Universally administered addresses are managed by the IEEE and are guaranteed to be unique worldwide. For those adapters which support universally administered addresses, the adapter’s address is in read-only memory on the adapter and cannot be changed. This means that if an adapter fails, its replacement will have a different universally administered address, which may impact network management schemes, universally administered addresses do not support any structured assignment which allows identification of the location of a Token-Ring station from its address.”
