30.Sh NAME
31.Nm be
32.Nd SPARC64 Fast Ethernet interface
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34.Cd "qec* at sbus? slot ? offset ?"
35.Cd "be* at qec?"
36.Sh DESCRIPTION
37The
38.Nm
39interface provides access to the 10Mb/s and 100Mb/s (half duplex only)
40Ethernet networks.
41The
42.Nm
43is found on the Sun 10/100 Mbit Ethernet boards
44(Sun part number SUNW,501-2655).
45.Pp
46Each of the host's network addresses
47is specified at boot time with an
48.Dv SIOCSIFADDR
49.Xr ioctl 2 .
50The
51.Nm
52interface employs the address resolution protocol described in
53.Xr arp 4
54to dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local
55network.
56.Pp
57The
58.Nm
59is not capable of link autonegotiation, so a media type must be specified
60with
61.Xr ifconfig 8 .
62The supported media types are:
63.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxx -offset indent
64.It media 100baseTX Op mediaopt half-duplex
65Use 100Mbps, half duplex
66.It media 10baseT Op mediaopt half-duplex
67Use 10Mbps, half duplex
