Displaying the LAN Station Address

Displaying the LAN Station Address

It is sometimes necessary to supply a LAN station address of your worksta- tion to other users. For example, if your workstation is to become a member of a cluster, the cluster administrator needs to know your LAN station address in order to add your workstation to the cluster.

A LAN station address of your workstation is the label that uniquely identi- fies the LAN connection for your workstation at the link level (the hardware level).

To display your workstation’s LAN station addresses, type the following at the prompt:

Information Menu: Enter command > lanaddress

The LAN station address is displayed as a twelve-digit number in hexadeci- mal notation, similar to the following:

LAN Station Addresses: 080009-789abc

The address is for the system’s built-in LAN.
