Advanced networking features
----------------------------
The following advanced features can be accessed by directly editing the emulated machine's configuration file, which is ``86box.cfg`` by default.
MAC address
^^^^^^^^^^^
With the exception of **[LPT] Parallel Port Internet Protocol**, every emulated network card stores its MAC address in the ``mac`` directive of its respective configuration file section. Only the suffix (last three octets) of the MAC address can be edited; the prefix (first three octets) will always be an `Organizationally Unique Identifier <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organizationally_unique_identifier>`_ belonging to the manufacturer, such as ``00:E0:4C`` for Realtek.
.. container:: toggle-always-show
.. container:: toggle-header
Example: MAC address ``00:E0:4C:35:F4:C2`` for the Realtek RTL8029AS
.. code-block:: none
[Realtek RTL8029AS]
mac = 35:f4:c2
SLiRP port forwarding
