Platform Notes: The SunATM Driver Software

Local ATM Address

The local ATM address is the 20-byte ATM address associated with this LAN Emulation instance. See "ATM Address Formats and Variables" for more information about ATM address formats and variables.

Each lane instance must be assigned a unique ATM address. Each SunATM 2.1 or 3.0 adapter has been assigned 16 unique MAC addresses; if you use the variable $myaddress for each lane instance, the SunATM software will automatically distribute those MAC addresses to the lane instances associated with each physical interface.
