Commands for Bridge process

1. device add

Syntax:

device add <device>

Description:

This command adds a device to the bridge configuration. Attempts to add the bridge itself or an existing device to the bridge are rejected. Attempts to add unsupported devices are rejected. There is a limit on the number of devices that can be attached to the bridge. If a device is successfully added to the bridge, it will only become active after the configuration is saved and the system is rebooted. If the device being added is from a process which supports multiple devices, the /DEVICE attribute must be specified as part of the device name. The table below shows devices, which may be attached to the bridge, although not all systems may support all devices.

edd

Ethernet driver bun_ethernet

pppPoint-to-Point protocol pp

Configuration saving saves this information.

Example:

DSL bridge> device add edd

DSL bridge> device add ppp/DEVICE=2

2. device delete

Syntax:

device delete <device>

Description:

This command deletes a device from the bridge configuration. The changes will only take place after the configuration is saved and the system is rebooted. The syntax of the device name is the same as that for the device add command.

Configuration saving saves this information.

Example:

DSL bridge> device delete edd

Heritage specifications

IBM, or International Business Machines Corporation, is a global leader in technology and consulting, with a heritage that spans over a century. Established in 1911, IBM initially emerged from a merger of four companies, and it has since evolved into one of the most influential players in the tech industry.

One of the main features of IBM’s legacy is its commitment to innovation. The company has a long history of technological breakthroughs, including the development of the first programmable computer, the IBM 701, in the early 1950s. IBM has also been at the forefront of many pivotal technologies, including mainframe computers, which became central to large-scale enterprise computing. The System/360, introduced in 1964, revolutionized the industry by offering a compatible range of computers that could run the same software, a concept that helped define the standardization of computer systems.

IBM’s contributions to artificial intelligence, particularly through its Watson platform, are another hallmark of its heritage. Watson gained international fame for its success on the quiz show Jeopardy! in 2011, showcasing advanced natural language processing capabilities and machine learning techniques. This technology has since found applications in various fields, from healthcare to finance, significantly transforming data analysis.

Another key characteristic of IBM is its focus on research and development. With an impressive portfolio of patents, IBM consistently ranks among the top patent holders annually. Their research endeavors have led to significant advancements in quantum computing, with initiatives like the IBM Quantum Experience making quantum technologies accessible to developers and researchers.

Sustainability is also a priority for IBM, with programs aimed at promoting environmental responsibility. The company has committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, reflecting the growing importance of sustainability in technology practices.

In summary, IBM's heritage is characterized by a strong legacy of innovation, technological leadership, and a commitment to addressing contemporary challenges in business and society. From pioneering mainframe systems to leading the charge in AI and quantum computing, IBM continues to shape the future of technology while maintaining a visionary outlook towards a sustainable and inclusive digital world.
