MAC not found?
Hey all,
I'm trying to setup an old WorkStation 2 (I did say old). When I go to boot the machine though, in the banner it shows up as if there is no MAC address it's nothing but 'ff:ff:ff' and so on. Any idea's why this could be so and how it could be fixed? Thx in advanced for your help  |

From Sunsolve:
The battery in the chip most likely failed, thus losing the information contained in the NVRAM. The failure in the battery causes the Ethernet/MAC Address and Hostid corruption. The banner command at the OBP prompt would display ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff for Ethers/MAC Address and ffffffff for the hostid. Part of the hostid information contains the "machine type", that is why the system complains about the machine type at boot. The only fix is to replace the NVRAM. (and the battery!) |
