ipxlink(1m)

NAME
     ipxlink - Link ipx streams driver to Link Layer

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


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


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

NOTES
     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.
