Sun FastEthernet PCI Adapter’s local-mac-addressProperty
The network interface of the Sun FastEthernet PCI Adapter is assigned a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address, which represents the 48-bit ethernet address for the channel. The OpenBoot™ firmware reports this MAC address via the local-mac-addressproperty in the device nodes corresponding to the network interfaces.
A system is not obligated to use this assigned MAC address if it has a system-wide MAC address. In such cases, the system-wide MAC address applies to all network interfaces on the system.
The device driver, or any other adapter utility, can use the network device's MAC address (local-mac-address) while configuring it. In future Solaris releases, you will be able to use the channel's MAC address when booting over the network.
The mac-addressproperty of the network device specifies the network address (system-wide or local-mac-address) used for booting the system. To start using the MAC addresses assigned to the network interface of the Sun FastEthernet PCI Adapter, set the NVRAM configuration variable local-mac-address?to true.
ok setenv local-mac-address? true
