The factory default is for the DMM to run through a full set of diagnostics
each time it is rebooted. By using the following command you can make
the DMM bypass the diagnostics and boot up faster:
8260A> set device diagnostics disable
− MAC address order
In general, Ethernet devices uses canonical address format, whereas
token-ring devices use a non-canonical address format. However, DMM
is shipped from the factory to display all the addresses in canonical
format regardless of the type of originating station. For example, with
canonical setting for DMM, if we display the current ARP table entries of
DMM, the result will be as shown in Figure 26.
8260A> show ip arp_cache
IP ARP Cache :
Interface Address Physical Address
--------- --------- ----------------
4 9.67.46.46 08-00-5a-13-39-6f
5 9.67.46.237 02-00-00-c0-cc-6c
5 9.67.46.238 08-00-5a-13-55-93
8260A>

In this example 9.67.46.46 is an Ethernet attached station whereas
9.67.46.237, and 9.67.46.238 are both token-ring attached stations. As can
be seen, all the addresses are shown in canonical format.
You may use the following command to set the non-canonical format to
be used by DMM:
8260A> set device mac_addr_order noncanonical
After issuing the above command, the current ARP table will be
displayed as shown in Figure 27.
8260A> show ip arp_cache
IP ARP Cache :
Interface Address Physical Address

You may use this command to set the address format used by DMM to
be the same as the address format that you are most accustomed to.
