The media is typically set using the .Xr ifconfig 8 command. .Pp There are currently three link types supported by .Nm Ns : .Bl -tag -offset indent -width IFM_ETHER .It IFM_ETHER Ethernet .It IFM_TOKEN Token Ring .It IFM_FDDI FDDI .El .Pp The following sections describe the possible media settings for each link type. Not all of these are supported by every device; refer to your device's manual page for more information. .Pp The lists below provide the possible names of each media type or option. The first name in the list is the canonical name of the media type or option. Additional names are acceptable aliases for the media type or option. .Sh COMMON MEDIA TYPES AND OPTIONS The followng media types are shared by all link types: .Bl -tag -offset indent -width IFM_MANUAL .It IFM_AUTO Autoselect the best media. [autoselect, auto] .It IFM_MANUAL Jumper or switch on device selects media. [manual] .It IFM_NONE Deselect all media. [none] .El .Pp The following media options are shared by all link types: .Bl -tag -offset indent -width IFM_FLAG0 .It IFM_FDX Place the device into full-duplex mode. This option only has meaning if the device is normally not full-duplex. [full-duplex, fdx] .It IFM_HDX Place the device into half-duplex mode. This option only has meaning if the device is normally not half-duplex. [half-duplex, hdx] .It IFM_FLAG0 Driver-defined flag. [flag0] .It IFM_FLAG1 Driver-defined flag. [flag1] .It IFM_FLAG2 Driver-defined flag. [flag2] .It IFM_LOOP Place the device into hardware loopback mode. [loopback, hw-loopback, loop] .El .Sh MEDIA TYPES AND OPTIONS FOR ETHERNET The following media types are defined for Ethernet: .Bl -tag -offset indent -width IFM_1000_FX .It IFM_10_T 10baseT, 10Mb/s over unshielded twisted pair, RJ45 connector. [10baseT, UTP, 10UTP] .It IFM_10_2 10base2, 10Mb/s over coaxial cable, BNC connector, also called Thinnet. [10base2, BNC, 10BNC] .It IFM_10_5 10base5, 10Mb/s over 15-wire cables, DB15 connector, also called AUI. [10base5, AUI, 10AUI] .It IFM_100_TX 100baseTX, 100Mb/s over unshielded twisted pair, RJ45 connector. [100baseTX, 100TX] .It IFM_100_FX 100baseFX, 100Mb/s over fiber optic cables. [100baseFX, 100FX] .It IFM_100_T4 100baseT4, 100Mb/s over 4-wire (category 3) unshielded twisted pair, RJ45 connector. [100baseT4, 100T4] .It IFM_100_VG 100baseVG AnyLAN. [100baseVG, 100VG] .It IFM_100_T2 100baseT2. [100baseT2, 100T2] .It IFM_1000_FX 1000baseFX, 1Gb/s over fiber optic cables. [1000baseFX, 1000FX] .It IFM_10_STP 10baseSTP, 10Mb/s over shielded twisted pair, DB9 connector. [10baseSTP, STP, 10STP] .It IFM_10_FL 10baseFL, 10Mb/s over fiber optic cables. [10baseFL, FL, 10FL] .El .Pp There are no link type-specific options defined for Ethernet. .Sh MEDIA TYPES AND OPTIONS FOR TOKEN RING The following media types are defined for Token Ring: .Bl -tag -offset indent -width IFM_TOK_UTP16 .It IFM_TOK_STP4 4Mb/s, shielded twisted pair, DB9 connector. [DB9/4Mbit, 4STP] .It IFM_TOK_STP16 16Mb/s, shielded twisted pair, DB9 connector. [DB9/16Mbit, 16STP] .It IFM_TOK_UTP4 4Mb/s, unshielded twisted pair, RJ45 connector. [UTP/4Mbit, 4UTP] .It IFM_TOK_UTP16 16Mb/s, unshielded twisted pair, RJ45 connector. [UTP/16Mbit, 16UTP] .El .Pp The following media options are defined for Token Ring: .Bl -tag -offset indent -width IFM_TOK_SRCRT .It IFM_TOK_ETR Early token release. [EarlyTokenRelease, ETR] .It IFM_TOK_SRCRT Enable source routing features. [SourceRouting, SRCRT] .It IFM_TOK_ALLR All routes vs. single route broadcast. [AllRoutes, ALLR] .El .Sh MEDIA TYPES AND OPTIONS FOR FDDI The following media types are defined for FDDI: .Bl -tag -offset indent -width IFM_FDDI_SMF .It IFM_FDDI_SMF Single-mode fiber. [Single-mode, SMF] .It IFM_FDDI_MMF Multi-mode fiber. [Multi-mode, MMF] .It IFM_FDDI_UTP Unshielded twisted pair, RJ45 connector. [UTP, CDDI] .El .Pp The following media options are defined for FDDI: .Bl -tag -offset indent -width IFM_FDDI_DA .It IFM_FDDI_DA Dual-attached station vs. Single-attached station. [dual-attach, das] .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr ifconfig 8 , .Xr netintro 4 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm interface first appeared in .Bsx 3.0 . The implementation that appeared in .Nx 1.3 was written by Jonathan Stone and Jason R. Thorpe to be compatible with the BSDI API. It has since gone through several revisions which have extended the API while maintaining backwards compatibility with the original API.
