[Gb-ccb] 4pm telecon

I agree. IP address assigned by what is plugged into the CCB so that
swapping CCBs is transparent to software.  But we also need some
identification of which CCB is actually being used, in the output
data. The ethernet/MAC address would suffice if there's no other
distinguishing serial number.
