Chapter 3: EIU datafill 73
MAC address is datafilled. The operating company obtains the MAC address from Nortel, and Nortel in turn controls the distribution of the addresses so that all addresses remain unique. The operating company must ensure that this address is datafilled correctly for each EIU.
For details on MAC addresses, refer to “Appendix I: Obtaining a MAC address”.
IP addresses
By industry convention, IP addresses must also be unique. This address is used at a network level to route information to nodes in a LAN or WAN environment. IP addresses are regulated by the Network Information Center (NIC).
For details on IP addresses, refer to “Appendix H: IP network number
requests” and “Appendix E: Understanding IP and IP addressing”.
