|
These commands are used to flip the serial line to SLIP mode
|
|
and configure the interface.
|
|
<P>
|
|
The mode command is the last command executed by dip
|
|
before gong into daemon mode. Unless an error occurs, the command
|
|
does not return.
|
|
<P>
|
|
mode takes a protocol name as argument. dip
|
|
currently recognizes SLIP and CSLIP as
|
|
valid names. The current version of dip does not understand
|
|
adaptive SLIP, however.
|
|
<P>
|
|
After enabling SLIP mode on the serial line, dip executes
|
|
ifconfig to configure the interface as a point-to-point link, and
|
|
invokes route to set the route to the remote host.
|
|
<P>
|
|
If, in addition, the script executes the default command
|
|
before mode, dip will also make the default
|
|
route point to the SLIP link.
