Configuring a dedicated manual link

Configuring a dedicated manual link

When you use the Network Configuration Manager or slconf to configure a dedicated link, you must provide the following information:

Link configuration information is stored in a line in /etc/tcp which calls the slattach program. Here is a sample slattach entry, broken over two lines for ease of reading:

   /etc/slattach /dev/tty1a 132.147.118.55 132.147.246.77\
   255.255.255.0 9600&
This link uses tty1a at 9600 baud. It communicates with a remote system, 132.147.246.77, via the interface 132.147.118.55. The netmask is specified as 255.255.255.0.

See ``Advanced SLIP configuration'' for more information about using the Advanced Options or directly editing the slattach entry in /etc/tcp to configure SLIP.
