Overview

The be interface provides access to the 10Mb/s and 100Mb/s (half duplex only) Ethernet networks. The be is found on the Sun 10/100 Mbit Ethernet boards (Sun part number SUNW,501-2655).

The be is not capable of link autonegotiation, so a media type must be specified with ifconfig(8). The supported media types are:

media 100baseTX mediaopt half-duplex

Use 100Mbps, half duplex

media 10baseT mediaopt half-duplex

Use 10Mbps, half duplex
