# 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.
