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.
