EX3700-100PES MAC & Virtual MAC

Hi,

 

I have purchased a EX3700-100PES but I'm confused about the MAC's in use.

 

On the box (and on the device) there is ONLY one MAC specified, but which MAC is that ? LAN / Link-WIFI / WIFI-EXT-2G / WIFI-EXT-5G ?

 

I also see MAC's and Virtual MAC's in the Web-interface for WIFI-EXT (2G and 5G).

I don't see any MAC for the LAN-port

In my router I see again another MAC as being connected to the router.

 

When a device is connected to the LAN-port, I also see in the Web-Interface the MAC of that device, but again, there is also a virtual MAC specified

 

So would it please be possible to give an overview (with some example numbers) of all MAC's and Virtual MAC's in use by the EX3700-100PES for the

  • LAN-port
  • WIFI-Link (2G and 5G)
  • WIFI-EXT (2G AND 5G)
  • Connected devices
  • ............

For what are all those Virtual MAC's used ?

 

I'm struggling with it because my router should give predefined IP-addresses based upon the MAC's of the EX3700-100PES and of the connected devices.

 

-------------------

 

I also have a configuration question : is it normal that the initial setup could not been done through the LAN-port (from a Windows10 Browser)

 

Thank you for helping me out
