NAME

esi - get or set the end system identifier (ESI)

SYNOPSIS

esi [ itf ]
esi [ -f ] esi [ itf ]
esi -V

DESCRIPTION

esi is used to show or set the end system identifier (ESI, a unique six-byte number corresponding to the MAC address of LAN technologies like Ethernet) of an ATM interface. If the interface number itf is omitted, interface 0 is used by default. The esi argument is a string of twelve hex digits.

Only the ESI stored in the kernel is accessed; esi does not change the ESI stored on the NIC. If a non-zero ESI is already set on an interface, the -f option has to be used to overwrite it.

Note that ESI changes are not automatically propagated throughout the system, e.g. to ilmid . esi should therefore be used early during system initialization.

OPTIONS

	-f		force overwriting an existing ESI.
	-V		print version number of esi on standard output and exit.
