inen(7)                    DG/UX 4.30                     inen(7)



     NAME
          inen - integrated Ethernet interface

     SYNOPSIS
          inen ([0] |
          inen ([0],,<alternate_ethernet_address>])

     DESCRIPTION
          The inen interface provides access to an Ethernet network
          through the integrated Local Area Network Controller for
          Ethernet (LANCE).  The interface is provided for the AViiON
          workstation.  The third parameter in the device
          specification may be used to provide an alternate ethernet
          address for this interface.

          To include support for this interface in the DG/UX system
          kernel, you must specify the name of the controller inen()
          in the system configuration file.

     EXAMPLE
          This is a sample entry in the system configuration file.

              inen()

          In the next example, the alternate ethernet address
          (alternate_ethernet_address) is 08001b123456.

              inen(0,,08001b123456)


          If the inen device is configured in the kernel, at boot
          time, the node /dev/inen0 will be created.  The inen device
          is a clonable Streams driver.  This means that a single
          node, /dev/inen0, may be opened to access any unused minor
          device.  Using this special node guarantees a separate
          Stream (minor number) will be allocated to the driver on
          every open system call.

          The host's Internet address for this interface is specified
          at network configuration time with an SIOCSIFADDR ioctl.
          See ifconfig(1M).

     DIAGNOSTICS
          Use the -i option with netstat(1C).
