Chapter 3: EIU datafill 69
Datafill sequence and implications
The following tables must be datafilled before table LIUINV:
•PMLOADS
•LIMINV
•CARRMTC
•SUSHELF
•LIMPTINV
•MSCDINV
You must datafill the EIU in table LIUINV before datafilling it in table
IPHOST.
Table LIUINV datafill
Table 11 lists the fields and value ranges used to datafill an EIU in table
LIUINV.
CAUTION
Possible loss of service
Table LIUINV requires that you datafill a unique media access control (MAC) address for each EIU. Obtain these MAC addresses from Nortel. Using an arbitrary address for an EIU may result in loss of connectivity with the Ethernet network.
While table 11 provides all the information you need to datafill for EIUs, complete information on table LIUINV is in
