2 Enter the slot(s).
You are prompted for a station assignment for each MAC in the slot(s) you
specified.
3 Enter the station assignment. The possible values are 1, 2, or 3.
Remember that each of these stations uses the corresponding backplane
path as its primary path. See Figure 9-1.
See the following example:
Select slot(s) (2,4|all) [2,4]:
Select MAC(s) (1-2|all):
Slot 2 MAC 1 - Enter new FDDI station number (1-3) [1]:
Slot 4 MAC 1 - Enter new FDDI station number (1-3) [1]:
You have requested that this MAC be moved to a different
FDDI station. You must reboot your system for this
request to take effect.
Slot 4 MAC 2 - Enter new FDDI station number (1-3) [1]:
You have requested that this MAC be moved to a different
FDDI station. You must reboot your system for this
request to take effect.
If you change a station assignment, then you must reboot the system for
the change to take effect.
In single station mode, the possible backplane path assignments include
isolated, primary secondary and local. In multi-station mode, the backplane
path assignments include isolated and primary (because all backplane paths
become primary paths in this mode).
To assign MACs to paths:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
fddi mac path
You are prompted for a path assignment for the MAC.
2 Enter the path.
You are prompted for a slot related to the MAC.
3 Enter the slot(s).
