3. Bridge Console commands
3.1 device add
3.1.1 Syntax
device add <device>
3.1.2 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 devices which don’t support the Cyan interface are rejected. There
is a limit on the number of devices that can be attached to the bridge. 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.
Device Remarks Source
Edd Ethernet driver bun_ethernet
r1483 RFC1483 protocol (PVC) rfc1483
Ppp Point-to-Point protocol pp
Configuration saving saves this information. See the section entitled Implementation
Constraints in the ATMOS Transparent Bridge Specification, DO-007087-P S, for
details of which devices are added by default.
3.1.3 Example
Simple examples
device add edd
device add ppp/DEVICE=2
Using the BUN RFC1483 driver
This example shows how to add the BUN RFC1483 driver, dynamically from the
console. You need to define and configure a device and a port.
Normally, the RFC1483 BUN device will pass all data straight through, untouched.
This means that even though you have changed your port definition to include the
RFC1483 driver, you can still use other protocols on the same port. In order to
enable RFC1483 encapsulation, the RFC1483 attribute on the channel must be set to
tru e.
The channel attribute mode dictates the functional behaviour of the driver, in terms
of encapsulation method to use and traffic nature (bridged/routed). The channel
