+#macString : the string of mac table entry
+#HostName  : the hostname of the node
+#The mac address is taken as installnic when:
+#1. the mac addr does not have a suffix "!xxxx"
+#2. the mac addr has a fuffix "!<the node name in xcat nodelist table>"
+#The schema description of mac table is:

+#This may be simply a mac address, which would be bound to the node name (such as "01:02:03:04:05:0E").
