How do I configure a FDDI controller

After you have added the FDDI board (Interphase 5211/4211) to the VME
backplane and restarted the system do the following to setup the pg
interface.

1.  Uncomment the appropriate pg line in /etc/conf/sadapters.d/kernel.

        # pg       0        vme0    intr  -       ffff0200   0
        pg         0        hvme    intr  -       ffff0200   0   <-- uncommented

	
2.  Make sure the conf flag in /etc/conf/sdevice.d/pg is set to Y.

        $version 1
        $loadable pg

        #name   conf    unit
        pg      Y       0


3.  Uncomment the appropriate lines in the Node file /etc/conf/node.d/pg.

        #module node    type    minor   user    group   permissions   level
        clone   pg0     c:0     pg      0       3       0666            2
        #clone   pg1     c:1     pg      0       3       0666            2
        #clone   pg2     c:2     pg      0       3       0666            2


4.  If you modified either /etc/conf/sadapters.d/kernel or /etc/conf/sdevice.d/pg
rebuild the kernel and reboot the system otherwise proceed to step 6.

	# /etc/conf/bin/idbuild -K
	...
	# init 6
	....


5.  Check that the node file made the device correctly.

	# < /dev/pg0
	#

If you get any error message then the device file is probably not correct.
Check /etc/conf/sadapters.d/kernel and make sure the hardware is seated and
jumpered correctly.


6.  Add an entry for the pg in /etc/confnet.d/inet/interface.

	...
        #
        # Loopback interface
        #
        lo:0:localhost:/dev/loop::add_loop:
        #
        # Additional network interfaces
        #
        pg:0:ta53:/dev/pg0:netmask 255.255.255.0 arp::

IMPORTANT: If this file is incorrect none of the network devices will work.


7.  Reboot the system.

8.  After the system comes up check the interfaces by running netstat -in.

        # netstat -in
        Name   Mtu   Network     Address      Ipkts   Ierrs Opkts   Oerrs Collis
        lo0    8232  127.0.0.0   127.0.0.1    13        0   13        0      0
        pg0    4352  129.134.136 129.134.136  82        0   14        0      0

If you have configured everything correctly you should the interface in
the output.  If you don't see the pg configured try touching the file
/etc/confnet.d/inet/interface then reboot the system.
