.Nd "Option for the lpt driver to allow IP over centronics ports"
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS

|
.Cd "options PLIP"
|
|
.Cd "options COMPAT_PLIP10"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
interface provides a way to transport IP over centronics ports.
|
|
Protocols to communicate with Linux 1.0 and Linux 1.1 hosts are provided.
|
|
By default the 1.1 protocol is used. To choose the 1.0 protocol use
|
|
the link0 flag with
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8
|
|
or in your /etc/hostname.plip? file. In order to use the 1.0 protocol
|
|
the kernel has to be compiled with COMPAT_PLIP10.
|
|
.Sh NOTES
|
|
To connect two computers a "Laplink parallel cabel" is used:

In both protocol versions ethernet frames are used. The 1.0 protocol assings
|
|
an ethernet address of the form FD:FD:ww:xx:yy:zz to the interface. The 1.1
|
|
protocol uses FC instead of FD. ww, xx, yy and zz are taken from the internet
|
|
address ww.xx.yy.zz of the interface. Ethernet support has
|
|
to be configured into the kernel in order to use the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
interface.
