A. The MAC address for the sdllc partner command is the MAC address of the host. For example, if the front-end processor (FEP) 3745 is the host then the MAC address of this FEP is defined by the LOCADD parameter of the LINE macro. The MAC address for the sdllc traddr command is the virtual MAC address of the SDLC device. This address is used to simulate the Token Ring connection between the Token Ring host and the serial-connected device. This virtual MAC address can be any number, as long as it is unique across the network.
