Autogenerating ATM Addresses
You can automatically generate the user part (suffix) of SVC ATM addresses.
When autogenerating this portion of the ATM addresses, you can use either the
ATM hardware MAC address or a MAC address override value as the endstation
identifier.
Enabling or Disabling the Hardware MAC Address Feature
If enabled, the Hardware MAC Address feature uses the MAC address of the ATM
interface when automatically generating the ATM address user part. Disabling this
feature uses the MAC Address Override value (see below) when automatically
generating the ATM address user part.
Entering a MAC Address Override Value
The MAC Address Override value redefines the hardware MAC address for the
interface. It also defines the endstation identifier for the interface when
automatically generating the user part (suffix) of an SVC ATM address.
Using the MAC Address Override parameter is very helpful when you want to
“hot-swap” ATM link modules.
For example, when “hot-swapping” ATM link modules, you can enter the MAC
address of the original ATM link module as the MAC Address Override value for
the new ATM link module. This allows you to keep the information you have
already configured on the existing ATM link module while maintaining the
integrity of the existing client information on the network.
Note: If you disable the Hardware MAC Address feature, you must enter a
MAC Address Override value.
