NAME¶
ef
—
pseudo-device driver providing support for multiple
Ethernet frame types
SYNOPSIS¶
device ef
DESCRIPTION¶
Theef
pseudo-device driver clones each
Ethernet type device with four additional interfaces. Each of them is capable
to send or receive only one predefined frame type.
Names for the new interfaces are created by adding a
fN suffix to an existing device name. Where
N is a device unit which can have one of the
following values:
0 interface with an Ethernet_II frame 1 interface with a Novell Ethernet_802.3 frame 2 interface with an Ethernet_802.2 frame 3 interface with an Ethernet_802.2/SNAP frame support.
# ifconfig ed0f1 ipx

loader.conf(5) file:
if_ef_load="YES"
