egconfig(1M)                                                      egconfig(1M)



NAME
     egconfig - configure gigabit ethernet interfaces

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/etc/egconfig [ -l ] interface

DESCRIPTION
     egconfig is executed at system startup time to download the firmware for
     each gigabit Ethernet (''egN'') interface configured into the system.
     After egconfig executes, it is still necessary to use ifconfig(1M) to
     configure protocol addresses and other parameters.

     egconfig is run automatically at system startup.  It should not normally
     be necessary to execute it, unless resetting the interface is required.

OPTIONS
     -l   Disables auto-link-negotiation on the specified interface.  This
          should only be used when attaching to other equipment that does not
          negotiate correctly.

SEE ALSO
     ifconfig(1M), network(1M), ethernet(7).
