CrossFire 8300/8301 Stacker Guide to Operation, DOC-7092 v. 1.0 6. Switch Configuration
Flash Memory Installed
Amount (in KB) of flash memory installed. Information in this field cannot be
changed.
Burned-in MAC Address
The factory-assigned base MAC address of the switch. Information in this field
cannot be changed.
Configured MAC Address
The MAC address that is currently in use, or, if a new MAC address has been
configured, the MAC address that will be used after the next boot. If a locally
administered address is assigned to the switch, this field displays that address.
Otherwise, the field displays
000000:000000 . To assign a locally administered
address, select this field, and enter the new address. Note that the switch occupies
this address, the base MAC address, and possibly the next 96 addresses.
To configure a LAA address, use the Switch Configuration screen from a console
session or an SNMP based management tool. Note that a restart is necessary when
changing the base MAC address.
The greeting screen on the console will always show the current active Switch base
Address.
The switch reserves 31 addresses for ports.
The Token-Ring ports on a switch will be assigned MAC addresses using the
following scheme:
•
BASE Module port 1–20 Will be assigned Switch Base A port
number
•
LEFT UEM port 1–4 Will be assigned Switch Base A 20 +
port number
•
RIGHT UEM port 1–4 Will be assigned Switch Base A 24 +
port number
OR:
A Token-Ring port will be assigned a MAC address, which is Switch Base Address
+ the port number displayed on the port configuration screen (or interface table for
SNMP).
This MAC address is used for the Token-Ring MAC protocol, and for the spanning
tree protocol.
The switch reserves 63 addresses for BRF (VLAN).
Each VLAN has an attached bridge relay function (BRF) and a management entity
