CHAPTER 1 Product Outline

1.6 Installation of Basic Software Extension or Enhanced Support Facility

To enable support of GP7000F specific functions, software packages in the "Basic Software Extension" or "Enhanced Support Facility"are needed to install on the system. Please refer to the user’s guide and installation guide of the "Basic Software Extension" or "Enhanced Support Facility" for more information.

CAUTION

Install "Basic Software Extension" or "Enhanced Support Facility" before operating the system. Without this package, incorrect operator panel operations or hardware errors may cause the system to shut down or destroy data.

1.7 local-mac-address Property

The network interface of the Ethernet (100BASE-TX) is assigned a unique MAC (Media Access Control)adress, which represents the 48-bit ethernet address for the channel. The OpenBoot(R) firmware reports this MAC address via the local-mac-address property in the device nodes corresponding to the network interfaces.

A system is not obligated to use this assigned MAC address if it has a system-wide MAC address. In such cases, the system-wide MAC address applies to all network interfaces on the system.

The device driver, or any other adapter utility, can use the network device’s MAC address (local-mac-address) while configuring it. In future Solaris releases, you will be able to use the channel’s MAC address when booting over the network.

The mac-address property of the network device specifies the network device specifies the network address (system-wide or local-mac-address) used for booting the system. To start using the MAC address assigned to the network interface of the Ethernet (100BASE-TX), set the NVRAM configuration variable local-mac-address?to true.

OK setenv local-mac-address? true
