### NAME

ie - SPARC Intel 82586 ethernet interface

### SYNOPSIS

ie0 at obio0 addr 0xf6000000 level 6 (sun4/200 on-board) ie0 at obio0 addr 0x06000000 level 6 (sun4/100 on-board) ie1 at vmes0 addr 0xffe88000 level 5 vect 0x75 (VME) ie2 at vmes0 addr 0xff31ff02 level 5 vect 0x76 (VME) ie3 at vmes0 addr 0xff35ff02 level 5 vect 0x77 (VME) ie4 at vmes0 addr 0xff2dff02 level 5 vect 0x7c (VME)

### DESCRIPTION

The ie interface provides access to the 10 Mb/s Ethernet network via the Intel 82586 Ethernet chip set. The ie is found as an on-board interface on Sun 4/100 and 4/200 workstations. The ie also exists as a VME card.

Each of the host's network addresses is specified at boot time with an ```SIOCSIFADDR` ioctl(2). The ie interface employs the address resolution protocol described in arp(4) to dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local network.
