- 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
