ABSTRACT:
A method for communicating data includes receiving at a main card a first media access control (MAC) address of a first peripheral component interconnect (PCI) card coupled to the main card and determining whether the first peripheral card has been previously used with the main card based on the received first MAC address. The method includes assigning a first previous ID value to the first peripheral card if the first peripheral card has been previously used with the main card and assigning a first new ID value to the first peripheral card if the first peripheral card has not been previously used with the main card. The method also includes storing the first new ID value with the received first MAC address in memory of the main card.
