2. UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers
HI,
New to Unix and I inherited a network that runs DHCP in manual configuration mode. Basically, in order for a machine to get an IP it has to have an entry in dhcpd.conf with its MAC address mapped to a hostname (the hostname then maps to an IP address listed in the DNS db file). If there is... (2 Replies)

NAME
vni - STREAMS virtual network interface driver
DESCRIPTION
The vni pseudo device is a multi-threaded, loadable, clonable, STREAMS pseudo-device supporting the connectionless Data Link Provider
Interface dlpi(7P) Style 2. Note that DLPI is intended to interact with IP, meaning that DLPI access to applications is not supported. (For
example, snoop fails on the vni interface.)
The vni device is a software-only interface and does not send or receive data. The device provides a DLPI upper interface that identifies
itself to IP with a private media type. It can be configured via ifconfig(1M) and can have IP addresses assigned to it, making aliases pos-
sible.
The vni pseudo device is particularly useful in hosting an IP address when used in conjunction with the 'usesrc' ifconfig option (see
ifconfig(1M) for examples). The logical instances of the device can also be used to host addresses as an alternative to hosting them over
the loopback interface.
Multicast is not supported on this device. More specifically, the following options return an error when used with an address specified on
vni: IP_MULTICAST_IF, IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP, IP_DROP_MEMBERSHIP, IPV6_MULTICAST_IF, IPV6_JOIN_GROUP, IPV6_LEAVE_GROUP. In addition, broadcast
is not supported.
Because there is no physical hardware configured below it, no traffic can be received through nor transmitted on a virtual interface. All
packet transmission and reception is accomplished with existing physical interfaces and tunnels. Because applications that deal with packet
transmission and reception (such as packet filters) cannot filter traffic on virtual interfaces, you cannot set up a packet filter on a
virtual interface. Instead, you should configure the policy rules to apply to the physical interfaces and tunnels, and if necessary, use
the virtual IP addresses themselves as part of the rule configuration. Also, note that the virtual interface cannot be part of an IP multi-
pathing (IPMP) group.
