NAME
mkpmethernetconf - create PM/Ethernet configuration file from PM/Agent/UDP configuration file

SYNOPSIS
mkpmethernetconf [-speed speed] [-unit unit-number] [-device ethXX] configuration-file [output-file]

DESCRIPTION
mkpmethernetconf creates a PM/Ethernet configuration file from a PM/Agent/UDP configuration file. mkpmethernetconf automatically pings the hosts specified in the PM/Agent/UDP configuration file, and gets the Ethernet address (aka MAC address) by executing arp(8). Hence, this command must be executed on a host which is in the same IP network.

OPTIONS
-speed speed
Specify the speed of the PM/Ethernet device. Default speed is 100.

-unit unit-number
Specify the unit-number of the PM/Ethernet device. This number must be the same as the unit number specified with the etherpmctl(8) attach command. Default unit number is 0.

-device ethernet-device(such as eth1)
Specify the ethernet device name ethXX when you have multiple ethernet NICs. (for Network Trunking)

configuration-file
Specify the PM/Agent/UDP configuration file. The format is defined in PM-II Agent/UDP CONF(5).

output-file
Specify the file name for configuration output. If this argument is not specified, stdout is used.

BUGS
If the host on which mkpmethernetconf executes is included in the PM/Agent/UDP configuration file and the host has more than 2 network interface cards, mkpmethernetconf outputs warnings and entries for each interface. In this case, edit the output file and delete the unused entries.

Since mkpmethernetconf uses the rsh(1) command, all hosts listed in the PM/Agent/UDP configuration file must be accessible using rsh.
