6. IP address, subnet mask alias, and enabling DHCP configuration is
the same as in other links.
7. “Advanced Options”:
• If setting the station address, please note that PCI Token Ring
does not support changing the station address to another globally
administered address. Only locally administered addresses are
supported. The only global addresses supported are:
- The card’s own MAC address.
- An address of all zeroes, which is treated the same as the card’s
unique address.
• The MTU must be set to a non zero value for the link to function.
See 1.e in the “Manual Configuration for PCI Systems” section in
Chapter 3.
SAM may set the default MTU to “0” (zero) when configuring a
card for the first time. The user must check and correct this.
SAM does not support setting the RIF option for PCI Token Ring in 11.x.
(PCI Token Ring does not support boot time configuration of RIF in
10.20.) This needs to be manually configured as detailed in the “Manual
Configuration for PCI Systems” section in Chapter 3.
SAM configuration of anyparameter will overwrite RIF information. RIF
configuration should be done manually after SAM configuration of other
parameters.
