300fba671dSmiod.Sh NAME
310fba671dSmiod.Nm be
320fba671dSmiod.Nd SPARC64 Fast Ethernet interface
330fba671dSmiod.Sh SYNOPSIS
34afb7f3acSmickey.Cd "qec* at sbus?"
350fba671dSmiod.Cd "be* at qec?"
360fba671dSmiod.Sh DESCRIPTION
370fba671dSmiodThe
380fba671dSmiod.Nm
390fba671dSmiodinterface provides access to the 10Mb/s and 100Mb/s (half duplex only)
400fba671dSmiodEthernet networks.
410fba671dSmiodThe
420fba671dSmiod.Nm
430fba671dSmiodis found on the Sun 10/100 Mbit Ethernet boards
440fba671dSmiod(Sun part number SUNW,501-2655).
450fba671dSmiod.Pp
460fba671dSmiodEach of the host's network addresses
470fba671dSmiodis specified at boot time with an
480fba671dSmiod.Dv SIOCSIFADDR
490fba671dSmiod.Xr ioctl 2 .
500fba671dSmiodThe
510fba671dSmiod.Nm
520fba671dSmiodinterface employs the address resolution protocol described in
530fba671dSmiod.Xr arp 4
540fba671dSmiodto dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local
550fba671dSmiodnetwork.
560fba671dSmiod.Pp
570fba671dSmiodThe
580fba671dSmiod.Nm
590fba671dSmiodis not capable of link autonegotiation, so a media type must be specified
600fba671dSmiodwith
610fba671dSmiod.Xr ifconfig 8 .
620fba671dSmiodThe supported media types are:
630fba671dSmiod.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxx -offset indent
640fba671dSmiod.It media 100baseTX Op mediaopt half-duplex
650fba671dSmiodUse 100Mbps, half duplex
660fba671dSmiod.It media 10baseT Op mediaopt half-duplex
670fba671dSmiodUse 10Mbps, half duplex
