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.
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 i s 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.
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.
