NAME
vether —
virtual Ethernet interface
SYNOPSIS
pseudo-device vether
DESCRIPTION
Thevether interface simulates a normal Ethernet
interface by encapsulating standard network frames with an Ethernet header,
specifically for use as a member in a
bridge(4).
To use vether the administrator needs to
configure an address onto the interface so that packets can be routed to it.
An Ethernet header will be prepended and, if the
vether interface is a member of a
bridge(4),
the frame will show up there.
