NAME
be —
SPARC Fast Ethernet
interface
SYNOPSIS
qec* at sbus? slot ? offset ?
be* at qec?
DESCRIPTION
The
be interface provides access to the 10Mb/s and 100Mb/s
(half duplex only) Ethernet networks. The
be is found on the
Sun 10/100 Mbit Ethernet boards (Sun part number SUNW,501-2450).
Each of the host's network addresses is specified at boot time with an
SIOCSIFADDR
ioctl(2). The
be interface employs the address resolution protocol
described in
arp(4) to dynamically
map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local network.
The
be is not capable of link autonegotiation, so a media type
must be specified with
ifconfig(8). The supported
media types are:
-
-
- media 100baseTX
- Use 100Mbps, half duplex
-
-
- media 10baseT
- Use 10Mbps, half duplex
