problems with the etheret address of my SGI indy r5000 - RetroGamer1985 - 04-29-2019

I just got my new SGI Indy R 5000 and everything is apparently perfect but when I try to configure networking I get errors and he tells me that he has "Bad ethernet address" I would like to know if you have any solution to my problem.

Most likely the battery in the DALLAS chip which also works as a number in can (nic) ist dead now because the MAC is set to FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. There is a set command which let you temporay set the MAC (check the orange sticker at the rear of your indy) again.

From my brain
setenv -f eaddr 08:00:69:xx:xx:xx
