DLPI Configuration

Use the IRIX Software Manager to ensure that you have installed the package IRIX Execution Environment 1 and its subpackage DLPI Execution Environment.

Follow these steps to configure DLPI by editing the file /var/config/snetd.options as follows:

1. Uncomment the lines of code for the interface you wish to configure. For example, of the following code lines, you need to remove the pound sign (#) from the beginning of each of the tokenring and fddi lines to uncomment those drivers, in addition to the already-uncommented Ethernet driver:

   #llc2 gtr0 LL_SET_SNID=A \ #1SHELL="lltune -P -p llc2 -s A -d /dev/llc2 def.tokenring" llc2 ec0 LL_SET_SNID=B \ SHELL="lltune -P -p llc2 -s B -d /dev/llc2 def.ether" #llc2 xpi0 LL_SET_SNID=C \ #SHELL="lltune -P -p llc2 -s C -d /dev/llc2 def.fddi"

2. Reconfigure the operating system:

   # /etc/autoconfig

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