Configuring a LAN Node

Configure a LAN Network Interface

Enable Ethernet? A Y in this field enables ethernet for the LAN. You can enable either ethernet or IEEE 802.3 or both simultaneously.

One or the other must be enabled (both fields may not be set to N). Ethernet is enabled by default.

Disabling Ethernet has the effect of disabling the ARP protocol and you will need to handle both name to IP and IP to station (MAC) address resolution by other means.

Enable IEEE 802.3? A Y in this field enables IEEE 802.3 for the LAN. You can enable either IEEE 802.3 or ethernet or both simultaneously. One or the other must be enabled (both fields may not be set to N). IEEE 802.3 is enabled by default.

Disabling IEEE 802.3 has the effect of disabling the probe protocol and you will need to handle both name to IP and IP to station (MAC) address resolution by other means.
