Viewing Avaya M770 ATM Switch IP address information

You can display IP address information for the M770 ATM Switch. For information about changing the IP address information, see “Setting the Avaya M770 ATM Switch IP address, subnet mask, and gateway” on page 31.

To view the IP address information, use the ip show command. The message “initializing” indicates that the LEC has not yet joined the ELAN.

Command:

M15-155s8:/>ip show

Output:

IP address: 192.32.220.61 (The address was obtained

 

using BOOTP.)

 

IP subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

 

IP gateway address: 192.32.220.8

 

MAC address: <valid address> (or initializing)

 

Layer 2: ok (or initializing)

Viewing the End System Identifier (ESI)

The End System Identifier (ESI), also referred to as the Burnt-In Address (BIA), is the factory-assigned world-wide unique address for the switch. If the management LEC on the M770 ATM Switch is joined to an Ethernet ELAN, its MAC address will default to the ESI (Ethernet format).

To display the BIA (ESI) of the M770 ATM Switch, use the address esi command.

Command:

M15-155s8:/>address esi

Output:

Switch ESI Address (Ethernet Format): 00.40.0D.07.00.0e

Note: The ESI cannot be changed. However, in the case of LANE, a Locally Administered Address (LAA) can be defined. For more information see “Managing the ELAN for the management LEC” on page 165.
