6.4 Finding Your Ethernet Station Address
6.4 Finding Your Ethernet Station Address
Every Ethernet connector has a built-in controller. That controller has a
unique ID called an Ethernet station address. The system manager needs the
Ethernet address (or addresses) for your workstation in order to complete the
network connection for you. You need to find and report the Ethernet station
address for each Ethernet controller on your workstation, using the following
procedure.
1. At the workstation console prompt (
>>
), type cnfg and press Return. A
display similar to the following appears on the screen:
>>cnfg
3:
KN05 DEC V1.0a TCF0 ( 32 MB)
(enet: 08-00-2b-0f-45-72)
(SCSI = 7)
0: PMAG-BA DEC V5.3d TCF0 (CX -- d=8)
1: PMAD-AA DEC V5.3d TCF0 (enet: 08-00-2b-0f-45-31)
>>
The
3:
at the extreme left on the first line indicates that the information
that follows is for slot 3, the base system unit. Look at the second line of
the display. The entry after
enet:
within the parentheses is the Ethernet
station address for the base system, slot 3.
The
0:
and the
1:
at the extreme left indicate that the information that
follows is for TURBOchannel option slots 0 and 1.
In this display, lines for both
3:
and
1:
show Ethernet station addresses.
The Ethernet address for the Ethernet controller in base slot 3 is
08-00-2b-0f-45-72.
The Ethernet address for the Ethernet controller in option slot 1 is
08-00-2b-0f-45-31.
2. Write down the Ethernet address for each Ethernet controller to be
connected to a network. Report the addresses to your system manager and
ask the manager to complete the Ethernet connections for you.
