Verifying the Ethernet Address

During installation, you may receive the following prompt to verify the machine's 12-digit hexadecimal Ethernet address:

The following IEEE 802 address has already
been entered for this machine: 0000c0eac744

Is this correct? (y)

You will receive this prompt under any of the following conditions:

· If you are installing DCE for the first time

· If you have used the dce_config REMOVE option to stop DCE daemons and remove any data files associated with those daemons.

To answer the prompt, you have two choices:

· If the displayed address is correct, press <Return>.

· If the displayed address is incorrect,

1. Type n and press <Return>.

The dce_config script prompts for the correct address.

Enter your machine's IEEE 802 address as a
12 digit hex number (for example, 08002B0F59BB):

2. Type the correct address and press <Return>.

The dce_config script continues the installation.

Note: If dce_config cannot obtain the machine's Ethernet address, it prompts for the address without displaying an address to verify.
