Console Commands

NetPrefix

Use NetPrefix to manipulate network ATM address prefixes on a particular port. This 13-byte net prefix is based on a
hierarchical addressing scheme. The default value starts with the first byte being set to 39 (DCC address format),
followed by nine pairs of 00s. The net prefix value is typically supplied by the network side of the UNI (user network
interface). The net prefix, combined with the ESI (End System Identifier) and the SEL (selector) fields supplied by the
user side of UNI, forms the ATM address. See the Structure of ATM address and NetPrefix diagram page 2-121.
