NAME
     dlconfig - Configure DLPI Physical Points of Attachment

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/dlconfig [ -options ] device ppa# interface


DESCRIPTION
     Dlconfig configures the DLPI Physical Points of Attachment
     (PPA).  This is needed since dlpi(7) is a Style 2 interface
     and therefore requires a dl_attach operation.

OPTIONS
     -v   Enables verbose mode.

PARAMETERS
     device
          is the device name that is to be configured and is gen-
          erally /dev/dlpi.

     ppa# is the physical point of attachment number and should
          be representable in 32 bits.

     interface
          is the network interface that will be designated by
          ppa#. Typical interfaces are la0, egl0, enp0, etc.

DIAGNOSTICS
     In non-verbose mode, the MAC address of the interface is
     written to stdout. Other error messages are the standard
     operating system messages.
