NAME
eui64 —
IEEE EUI-64 address database
DESCRIPTION
Theeui64 database contains information regarding known
IEEE EUI-64s of hosts. The data is stored in a file called
/etc/eui64 in the following format:
Items are separated by any number of blanks and/or tab characters.
A ‘#’ at the start of a line indicates
the beginning of a comment that extends to the end of the line. Valid lines
may also contain comments. A ‘+’ at
the start of a line will cause the
eui64(3) library functions to use data stored in the NIS
eui64.byname and eui64.byid
maps in addition to the data in the /etc/eui64
file.
An EUI-64 is expressed in ASCII form as "x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x" where x is a hexadecimal value between 0x00 and 0xFF. The address values should be in network order. Hostnames specified in the /etc/eui64 database should correspond to entries in the hosts(5) file.
FILES
- /etc/eui64
- The
eui64file resides in /etc.
