a. Edit the
/etc/rcS.d/S30rootusr.sh
file to add the following
if
statement immediately after the
ifconfig
command that initializes
the interface
pf
If you are changing the MAC address of more than one interface, add
one
if
statement for each interface.
On most systems, the
/etc/rcS.d/S30rootusr.sh
file is a hard link to
the
/etc/rootusr
file.
4. Reboot your machine to assign the new MAC address to the SunFDDI
interface.
When a SunFDDI/P card takes the host-resident
MAC
address, it can be
swapped to another system without affecting the existing network. However,
once a station starts sending packets on the network, the Address Resolution
Protocol (ARP) updates the ARP tables on other stations to include the
MAC
address of its interface. The ES-IS protocol performs the same function for
SunFDDI OSI running over FDDI. If you swap SunFDDI/P cards that use the
card-resident
MAC
address, you must wait until the ARP entries time-out, or
remove the ARP entries from every active station manually before packets can
be routed correctly.
Displaying SunFDDI/P Statistics
(pf_stat)
The
pf_stat(1M)
utility interrogates a specified SunFDDI/P interface and
displays the accumulated statistics. This command must be executed as
root
(or
superuser
) and has the general form:
pf
ifconfig $1 plumb
if [ $1 = “pf
” ]; then
ifconfig pf
ether
fi
#
/pf_stat
[-m
] pf
[
] [
]
if
statement to initialize
interface
pf
