SGI® 10-Gigabit Ethernet Network Adapter User’s Guide

In this address, the organizationally unique identifier (OUI) of the adapter vendor is represented by the first three sets of numbers (for example, 08:00:69). The last three sets vary, depending on the system.

See the netstat man page for more details.

Linux Adapter Configuration Verification

To verify that the network interface is configured properly and is enabled on, enter the following on a Linux system:

ifconfig -a

For example, the following shows that the MAC address is 00:0C:FC:00:01:24, the IP address is 10.2.2.2, the card is up, and the MTU is 9600:

[root@linux root]# ifconfig -a

 

eth1

Link encap:Ethernet

HWaddr 00:0C:FC:00:01:24

 

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
