<p class="Pp">The <code class="Nm">be</code> interface provides access to the
    10Mb/s and 100Mb/s (half duplex only) Ethernet networks. The
    <code class="Nm">be</code> is found on the Sun 10/100 Mbit Ethernet boards
    (Sun part number SUNW,501-2450).</p>
<p class="Pp">Each of the host's network addresses is specified at boot time
    with an <code class="Dv">SIOCSIFADDR</code> <a class="Xr">ioctl(2)</a>. The
    <code class="Nm">be</code> interface employs the address resolution protocol
    described in <a class="Xr">arp(4)</a> to dynamically map between Internet
    and Ethernet addresses on the local network.</p>
<p class="Pp">The <code class="Nm">be</code> is not capable of link
    autonegotiation, so a media type must be specified with
    <a class="Xr">ifconfig(8)</a>. The supported media types are:</p>
<div class="Bd-indent">
<dl class="Bl-tag">
  <dt>media 100baseTX</dt>
  <dd>Use 100Mbps, half duplex</dd>
  <dt>media 10baseT</dt>
