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 addressis 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

Resetting the Adapter
In the unlikely event that you need to reset the adapter, enter the following, where N
is the adapter number:
• IRIX:
#ifconfig xgNdown
#ifconfig xgNup
