Displaying the LAN Station Address

This section provides instructions for displaying the LAN station address for your system.

The LAN station address (“LANIC ID”) of your system is the label that uniquely identifies the LAN connection for it at the link level (the hardware level). It is sometimes necessary for you to supply this address to other users. For example, if your system is to become a member of a cluster, the cluster administrator needs to know your LAN station address to add your system to the cluster.
