Just for my personal interest, could someone explain me what actually is called romstrap?
It's a horrible name for permanent settings that are stored in the boot flash.
I thought that these things are permanently stored. But is it just a name for fixed values in the flash, or do those values need to be stored at a "special" address in the flash?
Is there any fast method to read the onboards NIC mac address "faster"?
ip l sh eth0|grep link/ether|awk '{print $2}'
I know that this is possible via commands on the shell, but you can't be sure that you select the onboard NIC with that method, because when a second NIC is used in that board on PCI this one could also be eth0, and therefore you could end up with the wrong one getting copied.
