SunOS 5.5 Devices elink(7D)
When used with the DL_PROMISC_SAP flag set, this enables/disablesreception of all sap
(Ethernet type) values. When used with the DL_PROMISC_MULTI flag set, this
enables/disables reception of all multicast group addresses. The effect of each is always
on a per-stream basis and independent of the other sap and physical level configurations
on this stream or other streams.
The DL_PHYS_ADDR_REQ primitive returns the 6-octet Ethernet address currently asso-
ciated (attached) to the stream in theDL_PHYS_ADDR_ACK primitive. This primitive is
valid only in states following a successful DL_ATTACH_REQ.
The DL_SET_PHYS_ADDR_REQ primitive changesthe 6-octet Ethernet address currently
associated (attached) to this stream. The credentials of the process which originally
opened this stream must be superuser or anEPERM error is returned in the
DL_ERROR_ACK. This primitive is destructive in that it affects all other current and
future streams attached to this device. An M_ERROR is sent up all other streams attached
to this device when this primitive on this stream is successful. Once changed, all streams
subsequently opened and attached to this device will obtain this new physical address.
The new physical address will remain in effect until this primitive is used to change the
physical address again or the system is rebooted, whichever comes first.
CONFIGURATION The /kernel/drv/elink.conf file is shipped pre-configured to handle all supported card
configurations. It is not intended to be modified in the field.
When configuringthe card, it is important to ensure that there are no conflicts between
the board’s I/O port, shared RAM, or IRQ level, and those of any other device in the sys-
tem.
