DLCONFIG(1-NEW)

NAME
dlconfig - Configure DLPI Physical Points of Attachment

SYNOPSIS
/etc/dlconfig [ -options ] device ppa# interface

DESCRIPTION
Dlconfig configures the DLPI Physical Points of Attachment (PPA). This is needed since dlpi(7) is a Style 2 interface and therefore requires a dl_attach operation.

OPTIONS

-v  Enables verbose mode.

PARAMETERS

device
    is the device name that is to be configured and is generally /dev/dlpi.

ppa#
    is the physical point of attachment number and should be representable in 32 bits.

interface
    is the network interface that will be designated by ppa#. Typical interfaces are la0, egl0, enp0, etc.

DIAGNOSTICS
In non-verbose mode, the MAC address of the interface is written to stdout. Other error messages are the standard operating system messages.
