DLPI Configuration

Follow these steps to configure DLPI by editing the files /etc/dlpi.conf and /etc/pse.conf:

1. Uncomment the lines of code for the interface you wish to configure. For example, of the code lines below, you need to remove pound sign (#) from the beginning of each of the last three lines to uncomment the 802.3, Token Ring, and FDDI drivers, in addition to the already-uncommented Ethernet driver. This code comes from the /etc/dlpi.conf file.

   d+ dlpi en /dev/dlpi/en # streams dlpi ethernet driver #d+ dlpi et /dev/dlpi/et # streams dlpi 802.3 driver #d+ dlpi tr /dev/dlpi/tr # streams dlpi token ring driver #d+ dlpi fi /dev/dlpi/fi # streams dlpi FDDI driver

   This code shows uncommented PSE drivers and modules in the /etc/pse.conf file:

   d+ stddev echo /dev/echo # what-u-write-is-what-u-read d+ stddev nuls /dev/nuls # streams version of /dev/null d spx # streams "pipe multiplexor" m sc # streams config list (scls) module

2. Reboot the UNIX server for these changes to take effect.
