Use the following format to define variables in the aarconfig file:
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.
set VARIABLE = EXPRESSION
