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”.

Table IPNETWRK

Table IPNETWRK contains information relating to the SuperNode subnetwork (IP address class, DMS-core host address, subnetwork mask, and default EIU). The SuperNode subnet is derived from the subnet mask and the DMS-core host address.

Table IPNETWRK also contains the provisioning information for interface EIUs.

Table IPNETWRK is part of the implementation of transmission control protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocols on the DMS SuperNode. This implementation provides the following functionality:

•third-party compatibility with host machines for connection setup and data exchange is added
