The ie
interface provides access to the 10 Mb/s Ethernet
network via the Intel 82586 Ethernet chip set. The ie
is found as an on-board interface on Sun 4/100 and 4/200 workstations. The
ie
also exists as a VME card.
Each of the host's network addresses is specified at boot time
with an SIOCSIFADDR
ioctl(2). The
ie
interface employs the address resolution protocol
described in arp(4) to
dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local
network.
