required.

o SLES 9 and SLES 10: Users may need to run YAST (Yet another Setup

Tool) on their Linux system to configure their Network devices

and then restart the network services.

o RHEL 4 and RHEL 5: Users will need to run Kudzu, a utility to

detect and configure new/changed hardware on the system. Kudzu

will present the user with The Hardware Discovery Menu, it will

detect the MAC address change as Hardware was removed and new

Hardware added.

* Prior to installing FlexAddress, the user can determine the range

of MAC addresses contained on their Flexaddress feature card by

inserting the SD card into an USB “Memory Card Reader” and viewing

the file "pwwn_mac.xml". The clear text XML file on the SD card

will contain an XML tag "mac_start" which is the first starting

hex MAC address that will be used for this unique MAC address range.

The “mac_count” tag is the total number of MAC addresses that this

SD card allocates. The total MAC range allocated can be determined

by: "mac_start" + 0xCF (208 – 1) = mac_end.

Example:(starting_mac)00188BFFDCFA + 0xCF =(ending_mac)00188BFFDDC9

NOTE: You should lock the SD card prior to inserting in the USB

“Memory Card Reader” to prevent accidently modifying any of the

contents. You MUST UNLOCK the SD card before inserting into the CMC.
