The .Nm interface employs the address resolution protocol described in .Xr arp 4 to dynamically map between Internet and .Tn Ethernet addresses on the local network. .Pp The i82596 comes basically in two different flavors: .Bl -tag -width i82596DXxxx .It i82596DX Systems with an ASP or WAX Main Bus Adapter (MBA), e.g. 720, 735 etc. These types of systems generally have only AUI or BNC and AUI connectors at the back. On the models with both you usually have to switch a big jumper-block on the mainboard to choose which one to activate. .It i82596CA Systems with LASI MBA, e.g. 712/*, 715/100 have the i82596CA integrated on the LASI macrochip. They usually have TP and AUI connectors and autodetect to which one the network is connected to. .El .Pp By default, the system will select the media type automatically, but the .Xr ifconfig 8 command can be used to force the media selection. The media types are shown below: .Bl -tag -width "media autoselect" -offset indent .It media autoselect Attempt to autoselect the media type (default) .It media 10base5 Use the AUI connector .It media 10baseT Use the twisted pair connector .It media 10base2 Use the BNC connector .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr arp 4 , .Xr ifmedia 4 , .Xr inet 4 , .Xr intro 4 , .Xr io 4 .Rs .%T 82596DX AND 82596SX High-Performance 32-bit Local Area Network Coprocessor .%Q Intel .Re .Rs .%T 82596CA High-Performance 32-bit Local Area Network Coprocessor .%Q Intel .Re
