Displaying the LAN Station Address

Displaying the LAN Station Address

It is sometimes necessary to supply the LAN station address of your computer to other users. For example, if your computer is to become a member of a cluster, the cluster administrator needs to know your LAN station address in order to add your computer to the cluster. Note that your LAN station address can be determined using the Boot Console Interface’s Information Menu.

A LAN station address for your computer is the label that uniquely identifies the LAN connection for your computer at the link level (the hardware level).

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

Information Menu: Enter command> lanaddress

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

LAN Station Address:

001083-000429

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

198
