If you use the PROM-based MAC address option (the default) for a given circuit,
you must subsequently use the Quick Get function of the Statistics Manager tool
to discover the actual address written into the LNM interface record for that
circuit. (For information about how to use the Quick Get tool, refer to Configuring
and Managing Routers with Site Manager.) After you obtain the address supplied
by the PROM associated with that circuit, you can enter the value into the
appropriate parameter field of the IBM LAN Network Manager application.
If you choose the CNFG (user-configured) option, you must also enter a unique
value into the MAC Address Override parameter field associated with that circuit.
As with the PROM-based option, the address you enter into the MAC Address
Override parameter field must be unique within the associated source routing
network.
Using IBM LAN Net Manager to Set LNM Parameters
Bay Networks router software does not allow the Controlling IBM LAN Network
Manager application to set MIB values on a Bay Networks router. The LNM “Set”
Privilege global parameter has a default setting of Disable for this reason. Site
Manager allows you to change the setting of this parameter to Enable, but you
must use only the default Disable setting.
If you attempt to use IBM LAN Network Manager to set the value of a parameter
in the MIB, you receive an error message such as the following from LAN
Network Manager:
Bridge parameters could not be set
for the listed reason (n)
Reporting Link 0-8
DFIPD456E
In this example, the Reporting Link number is 0, and the Reason Code is 8, which
means that the Bay Networks router rejected the SET operation.
For more information about messages of this type, refer to the IBM LAN Network
Manager User’s Guide.
