Configure a LAN Network Interface
Enable Ethernet? A Y in this field enables ethernet for the
LAN. You can enable either ethernet or
IEEE 802.3 or both simultaneously.
One or the other must be enabled (both
fields may not be set to N). Ethernet is
enabled by default.
Disabling Ethernet has the effect of
disabling the ARP protocol and you will
need to handle both name to IP and IP
to station (MAC) address resolution by
other means.
Enable IEEE 802.3? A Y in this field enables IEEE 802.3 for
the LAN. You can enable either
IEEE 802.3 or ethernet or both
simultaneously. One or the other must
be enabled (both fields may not be set
to N). IEEE 802.3 is enabled by default.
Disabling IEEE 802.3 has the effect of
disabling the probe protocol and you
will need to handle both name to IP
and IP to station (MAC) address
resolution by other means.
