qfe local-mac-address
Each of the network interfaces of the ITI-8241C-S Four Port Ethernet PCI
adapter has been assigned a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address,
which represents the 48-bit Ethernet address for that channel.
The OpenBoot firmware on the IntraServer ITI-8241C-S qfe adapter contains
an Ethernet number that software can use to identify the adapter.
After the Openboot™ PROM probes the adapter’s FCode PROM, a local-
mac-address property is created in the adapter’s device node. The property’s
value corresponds to the Ethernet number that can be used with the adapter.
The device driver, or any other qfe adapter utility, can use this local-mac-
address property for configuring that Ethernet interface.
Conflicts With FastEthernet Switches
There are two FASTEthernet (100BASE-T) switches that may present
difficulties when working with the ITI-8241C-S FastEthernet PCI adapter:
•
Bay Networks model 28115/ADV
•
SynOptics model 28115
If you use the adapter with these switches you will encounter difficulties.
Please refer to Sun’s bug ID 4071199 for more information. A patch is
available from Sun that will fix these difficulties.
