Sun Microsystems 3U manual Using Variables in the laneconfig File, 8Predefined SunATM Variables

TABLE 5-7laneconfig Flag Requirements and Options (Continued)

Interface	MAC Address/ELAN Name	ATM Address	VCI	Flag
required	illegal	xor1	xor	s
required	illegal	illegal	illegal	m

1xor means that you can use either the ATM Address field or the VCI field, but not both.

Note –Designate unused fields in the /etc/opt/SUNWconn/atm/laneconfig file with a dash.

Using Variables in the laneconfig File

You can use some of the predefined variables from /etc/opt/SUNWconn/atm/ aarconfig file in the /etc/opt/SUNWconn/atm/laneconfig file. These variables are listed in TABLE 5-8. For a complete description of how to use these variables, see “Using Variables in the aarconfig File” on page 47.

Note –Using predefined or user-defined variables in the MAC address field of local (‘l’) entries is not supported. Variables may be used in the MAC address field of other entry types, such as in table (‘t’) entries.

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

TABLE 5-8Predefined SunATM Variables

Variable	Description
prefix	The 13-byte prefix associated with the local switch.
mac	The 6-byte 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.
