Sets the if_mtu member of the ifnet data structure for this device to
the maximum transmission unit, which for Ethernet-related media is
represented by the constant ETHERMTU.

The following media-specific constants represent the maximum
transmission unit:

ETHERMTU

The maximum transmission unit for
Ethernet media. The if_ether.h file
defines the ETHERMTU constant.

FDDIMTU

The maximum transmission unit for
FDDI media. The if_fddi.h file
defines the FDDIMTU constant.

TRN4_RFC1042_IP_MTU

The maximum transmission unit for
the 4 megabit-per-second Token Ring
media. The if_trn.h file defines the
TRN4_RFC1042_IP_MTU

constant.

TRN16_RFC1042_IP_MTU

The maximum transmission unit for
the 16 megabit-per-second Token Ring
media. The if_trn.h file defines the
TRN16_RFC1042_IP_MTU

constant.

4

Sets the if_mediamtu member of the ifnet data structure for this
device to the maximum transmission unit for the media, which for
Ethernet-related media is represented by the constant ETHERMTU.
Typically, you set this member to the same constant that is used for
the if_mtu member.

5

Sets the if_type member of the ifnet data structure for this device
to the type of network interface, which is represented by the constant
IFT_ETHER

(Ethernet I or II interface).

The following describes some of the valid interface types that are
defined in the if_types.h file:

IFT_ETHER

Ethernet I or II interface

IFT_FDDI

FDDI interface

IFT_ISO88025

Token Ring interface

6

Sets the ac_flag member of the arpcom data structure for this device
to the value 0 (zero). This indicates that an IP address is currently
not configured for this interface.

7

Sets the sockaddr_in data structure pointer to the address of the
network interface. The address of the network interface is referenced
through the if_addr member of the ifnet data structure for this
device.
