.Sh NAME
|

.Nm be
|

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