MAC address is datafilled. The operating company obtains the MAC address
from Nortel, and Nortel in turn controls the distribution of the addresses so that
all addresses remain unique. The operating company must ensure that this
address is datafilled correctly for each EIU.
For details on MAC addresses, refer to “Appendix I: Obtaining a MAC
address”.
IP addresses
By industry convention, IP addresses must also be unique. This address is used
at a network level to route information to nodes in a LAN or WAN
environment. IP addresses are regulated by the Network Information Center
(NIC).
For details on IP addresses, refer to “Appendix H: IP network number
requests” and “Appendix E: Understanding IP and IP addressing”.

Table IPNETWRK
Table IPNETWRK contains information relating to the SuperNode
subnetwork (IP address class, DMS-core host address, subnetwork mask, and
default EIU). The SuperNode subnet is derived from the subnet mask and the
DMS-core host address.
Table IPNETWRK also contains the provisioning information for interface
EIUs.
Table IPNETWRK is part of the implementation of transmission control
protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocols on the DMS SuperNode. This
implementation provides the following functionality:
third-party compatibility with host machines for connection setup and data
exchange is added
