required. Any combination of upper and lowercase is acceptable. It can contain
one of these values
Eth
for Ethernet;
FC
for FibreChannel; and
FCTarget
for
FibreChannel Target.
v
Ethernet (Eth) : In addition to the four common parameters, the Ethernet
port entry also contains the following parameters.
Port (required)
The port to which the data is written. This is a value between 1 and 8,
where 1 and 2 are reserved for the built-in on-board Ethernet cards. See
“Mapping of devices to ports” on page 48 and “Multi-slot blades and
the port offset parameter” on page 48for more information.
MAC1 (required)
This is the primary MAC address that is written to the Ethernet card
attached to the port in question. It is a 48-bit EUI value represented in
the field as six hexadecimal bytes (using values 0-9 and A to F, and not
preceded by
0x
) separated by colons, for example,
12:34:56:78:90:AB
.
Invalid addresses cause an error and the system ignores the line.
VLAN1 (optional)
This is the VLAN you use for this Ethernet connection. An empty field
is equivalent to a value of zero. and the system informs the NIC that no
VLAN was selected. Valid values for VLANs are 0 to 40. This field
defaults to zero.
This VLAN tag is used only by the BIOS for the PXE boot, if used. You
must apply OS VLAN tags at the OS level.
MAC2 (optional)
This is the secondary MAC address for those Ethernet cards that support
this option. If you do not supply a value for this field it is not applied.
VLAN2 (optional)
This is the secondary VLAN that the system uses for those cards that
support a secondary MAC address. This field is applied only if MAC2
and VLAN2 contain a valid value. Valid values for VLANs are 0 to 40. A
value of zero is equivalent to an empty field.
This VLAN tag is used only by the BIOS for the PXE boot, if used. You
must apply OS VLAN tags at the OS level.
Here is an example of the Ethernet entry parameters:
//IP ,Type ,Slot ,Offset ,Port ,MAC_1 ,VLAN1 ,MAC_2 ,VLAN2
localhost ,eth ,1 ,0 ,1 ,25:00:c9:00:00:00
Note: In the generated file
Eth
is expanded to
Ethernet
, but this is not
required.
v
FibreChannel (FC) : In addition to the common parameters, the FibreChannel
port entry also contains the following parameters.
Port (required)
The port to which the data is written. This is a value between 3 and 8 (1
and 2 are reserved for the built-in on-board Ethernet cards). See
“Mapping of devices to ports” on page 48 and “Multi-slot blades and
the port offset parameter” on page 48 for more information.
WWNN (optional)
This is the worldwide node name for the FibreChannel device attached
to the given port. It is a 64-bit EUI value represented in the field as eight
hexadecimal bytes (using values 0-9 and A to F, and not preceded by
0x
)
