Locally Administered Address
The Locally Administered Address is a
user-defined MAC address that is used in place of the MAC address originally
assigned to the network adapter. Every adapter in the network must have its own
unique MAC address. This locally administered address consists of a 12-digit
hexadecimal number.
Value
.
Assigns a unique node address for the adapter.
Not Present
(default). Uses the factory-assigned node address on the
adapter.
The appropriate assigned ranges and exceptions for the locally administered
address include the following:
The range is 00:00:00:00:00:01 to FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FD.
Do not use a multicast address (least significant bit of the high byte = 1).
Do not use all 0s or all Fs.
Do not assign a Locally Administered Address on any physical adapter that
is a member of a team.
Do not assign a Locally Administered Address on any iSCSI boot-enabled
device.
Receive Side Scaling
Allows configuring network load balancing across
multiple CPUs. The default setting for this property is Enabled.
Switch Configuration.
Allows configuring of the connected switch for the
network adapters.
SW_Config_10G
(default). Sets the switch speed to 10 Gbit/s.
SW_Config_1G
. Sets the switch speed to 1 Gbit/s.
Speed & Duplex
The Speed & Duplex property sets the connection speed and
mode to that of the network. Note that Full-Duplex mode allows the adapter to
transmit and receive network data simultaneously.
NOTE
In some cases, network devices will allow a different combination of
hexadecimal and alphanumeric characters than what is entered, which
could result in an invalid MAC address. If you assign an address, confirm the
assigned address using the ipconfig utility at the DOS prompt.
NOTE
Switch Configuration only applies to blade configurations.
