Enabling XNS Services
303548-A Rev 00
3-3
Parameter: Base Host Number
Default: The Configuration Manager automatically generates a unique 6-byte host
number from the Bay Networks router’s serial number if you do not enter
a value. (This automatically generated number is not displayed.)
Options: Any host number
Function: Sets a host ID and source MAC address for all slots. By means of this
parameter, XNS interfaces configured on any slot in the node share the
same host ID and source MAC address.
Instructions: Do not enter a number in this box if you want the Configuration Manager
to generate a host number automatically, or if the interface is on a Token
Ring circuit and you are setting the Token Ring Mac Address Select
parameter to Boxwide.
Enter the MAC address in hexadecimal notation only if the interface is on
a Token Ring circuit and you are setting the Token Ring MAC Address
Select parameter to Cnfg. Refer to the section “Configuring a MAC
Address on a Token Ring Interface” in Chapter 2 for more information
about this parameter.
MIB Object ID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.5.10.1.4
Note:
If you already have XNS configured on the router, this field does not
appear.
