Enable ALTERNATE ATM MAC address
– Set this characteristic to yes to enable the ATM media access control
(MAC) address you specify in the ALTERNATE ATM MAC address field.
Ÿ
ALTERNATE ATM MAC address
– Type the MAC address in hexadecimal format (example:
ðxððððD1ððð8ED
).
Note: Alternate MAC Address: To facilitate an easy swap of ARP servers
and/or server adapters, the option of a user-specified alternate MAC address
is provided. Since an endpoint's ATM address is partially derived from the
adapter's MAC address, changing an adapter in an endpoint changes that
station's ATM address.
If an ARP server adapter is changed, it is not necessary to change the ARP
server ATM address in each ARP client. The MAC address of the previous
configuration can be entered as the alternate MAC address of the new
adapter. Each MAC addresses within a network, however, must be unique.
Ÿ
ATM Adapter PDU Size:
– ATM Adapter PDU (Protocol Data Unit) Size field specifies the maximum
packet size that the IP stack generates for the ATM interface.
– Do not change the default value of 9180 unless another PDU size has
been configured and is used by all other hosts and routers in the IP
subnet.
To see the range of valid values for this setting press F4.
