Good Morning,

I'm sorry for keeping this up - I'm just getting frustrated with this Mac 
Vendor issue.

I can't get the table to update at all.  I checked the file permissions on 
oui.txt and it still won't update.

Could there be a problem with the database table?  Any suggestions to check 
this?

Thanks,
Scott

look like a permission issue, check the right of the file it should be pf.pf

Set this port as an uplink port 10112
