NAME
       dgen - ILACC Ethernet network interface

SYNOPSIS
       dgen ([def][,,ethernetaddress])

DESCRIPTION
       The dgen device driver allows an AViiON system that includes an
       integrated local area communications controller (ILACC) to access an
       Ethernet network. To set up this interface, you enter one or more
       dgen statements in the DG/UX system configuration file.  The
       parameters are:

       def            A number from 0 to 5, or null for 0, identifying the
                      controller board

       ethernetaddr  An overriding alternate address for this controller on
                      the network.

       The Internet address for this interface is specified at network
       configuration time with SIOCSIFADDR ioctl: see ifconfig(1M) for
       details.

       The dgen device is implemented as a clonable Streams driver.  This
       means that you can open a single node, such as /dev/dgen0, to access
       any unused minor device.  Each subsequent access of the node via the
       open(2) system call allocates a separate Stream (minor number) to the
       device driver.

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

EXAMPLES
       The following entries in a DG/UX configuration file configure two
       ILACC controllers with default values, at nodes /dev/dgen0 and
       /dev/dgen1:

            dgen(0)
            dgen(1)

       Note that either dgen() or dgen(0) will create the initial node.

       The following statement configures an ILAAC controller with an
       alternate ethernet address:

            dgen(0,,08001b123456)
