Resetting the Adapter

SGI® 10-Gigabit Ethernet Network Adapter User’s Guide

In this address, the organizationally unique identiﬁer (OUI) of the adapter vendor is represented by the ﬁrst three sets of numbers (for example, 08:00:69). The last three sets vary, depending on the system.

See the netstat man page for more details.

Linux Adapter Conﬁguration Veriﬁcation

To verify that the network interface is conﬁgured properly and is enabled on, enter the following on a Linux system:

ifconfig -a

For example, the following shows that the MAC address is 00:0C:FC:00:01:24, the IP address is 10.2.2.2, the card is up, and the MTU is 9600:

[root@linux root]# ifconfig -a
eth1	Link encap:Ethernet	HWaddr 00:0C:FC:00:01:24
		^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

In the unlikely event that you need to reset the adapter, enter the following, where N is the adapter number:

#ifconfig xgN down

#ifconfig xgN up
