MAC Address Formats
The MAC address can be represented in one of two formats:
•
Canonical format
•
Ring format
The MAC address is always displayed in canonical format by the SunFDDI/P
network utilities and hardware self-test program. It is also displayed in
canonical format when you reboot your machine.
The SMT information displayed by SunNet Manager always shows the MAC
address in ring format. If you specify a target station using a MAC address
(instead of a host name), you must enter it in ring format.
