NAME

6       bpqparms - Configure BPQ ethernet devices.
7

SYNOPSIS

9       bpqparms device [-a ethaddr] [-d ethaddr] [-vV]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Bpqparms  allows the setting of the BPQ Ethernet options for a particu‐
13       lar device.  Each  BPQ  Ethernet  device  appears  as  a  device  named
14       bpq0...bpqN  which  overlays  the  original  Ethernet  device,  usually
15       eth0...ethN. This device is an AX.25 device  driver  and  allows  AX.25
16       frames  to be transmitted over an Ethernet to another machine using the
17       same protocol. The default for the device is to send  and  receive  BPQ
18       Ethernet  packets  to  the broadcast address. This program replaces the
19       previous “axparms -dev” option.

OPTIONS

22       -a ethaddr     Allows the setting of which  ethernet  address  will  be
23                      accepted by the BPQ Ethernet device.
24
25       -d ethaddr     If specified on its own, will set the destination ether‐
26                      net address  will  be  used  for  transmitting  and  for
27                      receiving of BPQ ethernet packets. An address of “broad‐
28                      cast” sets it to the ethernet broadcast address.
29
30       -v             Displays the version number.
31
32       -V             The original version messages.
