ethers When Ethereal is trying to translate Ethernet hardware ad-
dresses to names, it consults the files listed in
Table A.1,
“Configuration files and folders overview” . If an address is
not found in /etc/ethers, Ethereal looks in
$HOME/.ethereal/ethers
Each line in these files consists of one hardware address and
name separated by whitespace. The digits of hardware ad-
dresses are separated by colons (:), dashes (-) or periods(.).
The following are some examples:
ff-ff-ff-ff-ff-ff Broadcast
c0-00-ff-ff-ff-ff TR_broadcast
00.2b.08.93.4b.a1 Freds_machine
The settings from this file are read in at program start and
never written by Ethereal.
manuf Ethereal uses the files listed in Table A.1, “Configuration
files and folders overview” to translate the first three bytes of
an Ethernet address into a manufacturers name. This file has
the same format as the ethers file, except addresses are three
bytes long.
An example is:
00:00:01 Xerox # XEROX CORPORATION
The settings from this file are read in at program start and
never written by Ethereal.
