The new switch prefix. The prefix must be a 13-byte address and expressed as 13 two-digit hexadecimal numbers separated by periods. (39.00.01.02.03.04.05.06.07.08.09.aa.bb) is an example of a switch prefix address.
The first byte of the switch prefix address must be 39, 45, 47 or 49. For more information see text in the introduction to this section. Optional parameter that indicates that the PNNI node ID shall be changed according to the new prefix
Optional parameter that indicates that the PNNI peer group ID shall be changed according to the new prefix
M15-155s8:/>address prefix
Current Prefix: 39.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.40.0d.87.00.2c

Chapter 4 Managing Miscellaneous Commands

Viewing or changing the switch prefix

When a M770 ATM Switch with a blank EEROM is powered up, a default prefix is generated and stored in the EEROM.

The default prefix is 39.00.00.00.00.00.00.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx where x is the MAC address of the switch.

Note that the first byte of all switch prefixes must start with one of the following:

•39. An ATM Forum Identifier (AFI) for the Data Country Code (DCC). This is allocated and assigned to countries and administered by the ISO member for that country.

•47. An AFI for the International Code Designator (ICD). This is allocated and assigned to countries, and administered by an ISO registration authority for that country, for example the British Standards Institute (BSI).

•45. An AFI for E.164 encapsulated. This is useful for organizations who wish to use the existing number plan used in public networks.

•49. The local AFI that defines a structure that can be used by anyone within a private network.

To display the current switch prefix, use the address prefix command.

Command:

Output:

If you have an ATM network that uses its own block of ATM addresses, you can make the M770 ATM Switch conform to this scheme by changing the default switch prefix. Any end-stations directly connected to the M770 ATM Switch will only obtain their new prefix if they re-register over ILMI.

To change the switch prefix for the M770 ATM Switch, use the address prefix command.

Command: M15-155s8:/>address prefix <prefix> [node_id] [pg_id]

Parameters: <prefix>

[node_id]

[pg_id]

Note: You must reboot the switch before the above command will take affect. You must update all the other affected switches’ static routing table entries with the new switch prefix. If you are using PNNI routing then the affected routing entries will be updated automatically.
