Sun Microsystems 3U manual 4Predefined SunATM Variables

Use the following format to define variables in the aarconfig file:

set VARIABLE = EXPRESSION

where VARIABLE is the name of a variable and EXPRESSION is an expression concatenating one or two-digit hexadecimal numbers or the values of variables that have been previously defined. The equal sign is optional, but separate the variable and expression either by white space (spaces or tabs), an equal sign, or both.

Several predefined variables are built into the SunATM software. These variables are summarized in TABLE 5-4.

Note –You cannot use the $prefix variable or any other variables that use it (including $myaddress and $localswitch_server) on interfaces that are not using ILMI address registration.

Variable	Description
prefix	The 13-byte prefix associated with the local switch.
mac	The 6-byte medium access control (MAC) address associated
	with the local host or interface.
sel	The default 1-byte selector for the local interface.
macsel	The concatenation of $mac:$sel.
myaddress	The concatenation of $prefix:$mac:$sel, resulting in the
	default address for the local interface.
anymac	A wild card representing any 6-byte ESI. Should only be used
