NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     ipxlink - Link ipx	streams	driver to Link Layer

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     ipxlink [-dev device-name]	[-snid SNID] [-type

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     ipxlink is	used to	configure the ipx streams driver by linking it to the
     appropriate network link interface	driver.

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

     -devdevice-name
	  The name of the IPX device to	use for	the link.  This	device must
	  have the same	major number as	the minor number of the	IPX driver (
	  /dev/ipx ), and a minor number less than 4.  The default device is
	  /dev/lnkipx0 .

     -snidSNID
	  The subnetwork identifier (SNID) for the network link	layer driver.
	  This value should match that set for the link	layer interface	in the
	  /etc/config/snetd.options file.  For example,	if using the ethernet
	  interface ec0, the value of SNID should match	that assigned to
	  LL_SET_SNID on the line starting with	'llc2 ec0'. The	default	value
	  is B .

     -type[ethernet_8023|ethernet_8022|ethernet_ii]
	  The frame type of the	ethernet network on which the NetWare network
	  resides.  If this option is not specified, ipxlink will attempt to
	  auto-detect the frame	type.

FILES    [Toc]    [Back]

	  /etc/config/snetd.options Describes the configuration	of the STREAMS
     network constructed by snetd.

SEE ALSO    [Toc]    [Back]

     dlpi(7), ipx(7M), snetd(1M), snetd.options(4)

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

     The DLPI network daemon (snetd) must be properly configured and running
     for the desired network interface in order	for ipxlink to work correctly.
     The ipx driver must be loaded with	the correct major device number	before
     running ipxlink.
