OpenBoot PROM Variables
Before you issue the boot net command from the OpenBoot PROM prompt (OK), verify that
the local-mac-address? variable is set to false. This setting is the factory default setting. If the
variable is set to true, you must ensure that this value is an appropriate local conguration.
Caution – A local-mac-address? that is set to true might prevent the domain from successfully
booting over the network.
In a netcon window, you can use the following command at the OpenBoot PROM prompt to
display the values of the OpenBoot PROM variables:
OK printenv
To reset the local-mac-address? variable to the default setting. use the setenv command:
OK setenv local-mac-address? false
