Restore MAC address to factory settings

Restore MAC address to factory settings

[Jandra A]

Hello all,

I’d like your input on the value you see – if any – in the ability for
a user to restore a MAC Address to the factory default via the GUI
(Network Settings).

BACKGROUND: Several end users have told us that they RARELY need to
change their MAC Address, if at all. However, we’ve heard from several
subject-matter experts that there IS value in making the MAC Address
editable as well as having a way to restore it to the factory default.

QUESTION: Is there value for the end user in being able to edit a MAC
address? What about restoring it to the factory default?

VIEW CURRENT DESIGN:

Appreciate all thoughts on this.

We have a use case for editing MAC. I don't know about factory
default.  So there's one (rather large) end user who would get value
:)

Thanks Emily! Were you able to look over the design proposal? I'd love to
get your feedback.

Thanks, I replied to your comments. Please feel free to look through the
rest of the prototype if you are interested in the other features.
