Question
Where can I find the HFC MAC address on my SB8200 modem?
Answer
The label on the bottom panel of the SB8200 contains the Media Access Control (MAC) address, a unique, 48-bit value permanently saved in ROM at the factory to identify the cable/DOSCIS interface of the modem.  To receive data service, the MAC address marked as HFC MAC ID will need to be provided to the Internet Service Provider.  The HFC MAC ID is also known as the CMAC Address.  This document includes the following sections:
