NAME
       inen - LANCE Ethernet network interface

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

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

       def            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 inen device is implemented as a clonable Streams driver.  This
       means that you can open a single node, such as /dev/inen0, 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 entry in a DG/UX configuration file configures a LANCE
       controller with default values, at node /dev/inen0:

            inen(0)

       Either inen() or inen(0) will create the node.

       The following statement configures a LANCE controller with an
       alternate ethernet address:

            inen(0,,08001b123456)

       Environment.
