SET DEVICE MAC_ADDR_ORDER
SET DEVICE
MAC_ADDR_ORDER
Use the SET DEVICE MAC_ADDR_ORDER command to specify the bit order in
which the command interface displays MAC addresses. Token Ring networks
generally use noncanonical address formats.
Here is an example of a MAC address in noncanonical format:
10-00-01-02-03-04
In canonical format, the same address is:
08-00-80-40-c0-20
08 is 10 in reverse bit order
00 is 00 in reverse bit order
80 is 01 in reverse bit order
40 is 02 in reverse bit order
c0 is 03 in reverse bit order
20 is 04 in reverse bit order
Format
Example
The following command sets the command interface to display MAC addresses
in canonical format:
CB5000> set device mac_addr_order canonical
MAC Address Order option set to CANONICAL.
