New Revision: 40833
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/doc/40833
Log:
Remove mention of plip0, the parallel-port network device. As Diane
Bruce succintly explains it: "PLIP is obsolescent, blah blah blah."

- <para>First, you have to get a laplink cable. Then, confirm
- that both computers have a kernel with &man.lpt.4; driver
- support:</para>
-
- <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>grep lp /var/run/dmesg.boot</userinput>
-lpt0: <Printer> on ppbus0
-lpt0: Interrupt-driven port</screen>
-
- <para>The parallel port must be an interrupt driven port, you
- should have lines similar to the following in your in the
- <filename>/boot/device.hints</filename> file:</para>
-
- <programlisting>hint.ppc.0.at="isa"
-hint.ppc.0.irq="7"</programlisting>
-
- <para>Then check if the kernel configuration file has a
- <literal>device plip</literal> line or if the
- <filename>plip.ko</filename> kernel module is loaded. In both
- cases the parallel networking interface should appear when you
- use the &man.ifconfig.8; command to display it:</para>
-
- <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>ifconfig plip0</userinput>
-plip0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500</screen>
-
- <para>Plug the laplink cable into the parallel interface on
- both computers.</para>
-
- <para>Configure the network interface parameters on both sites
- as <username>root</username>. For example, if you want to
- connect the host <hostid>host1</hostid> with another machine
- <hostid>host2</hostid>:</para>
-
- <programlisting> host1 <-----> host2
-IP Address 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2</programlisting>
-
- <para>Configure the interface on <hostid>host1</hostid> by
- doing:</para>
-
- <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>ifconfig plip0 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2</userinput></screen>
-
- <para>Configure the interface on <hostid>host2</hostid> by
- doing:</para>
-
- <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>ifconfig plip0 10.0.0.2 10.0.0.1</userinput></screen>
-
- <para>You now should have a working connection. Please read the
- manual pages &man.lp.4; and &man.lpt.4; for more
- details.</para>
-
- <para>You should also add both hosts to
- <filename>/etc/hosts</filename>:</para>
-
- <programlisting>127.0.0.1 localhost.my.domain localhost
-10.0.0.1 host1.my.domain host1
-10.0.0.2 host2.my.domain host2</programlisting>
-
- <para>To confirm the connection works, go to each host and ping
- the other. For example, on <hostid>host1</hostid>:</para>
-
- <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>ifconfig plip0</userinput>
-plip0: flags=8851<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
