NAME

       eql_enslave - enslave a network interface with a master interface

SYNOPSIS

       eql_enslave <master-name> <slave-name> <estimated-bps>

DESCRIPTION

       eql_enslave  enslaves a PPP or SLIP network interface to another, named
       master interface or eql device.

       The MTU must match the MTU  of  your  serial  line  device,  otherwise,
       eql_enslave  just  fails  when  it is called. You have also to turn off
       Van-Jacobson compression on your slave devices.

       Once the eql device is configured, it will stay up  and  running  until
       you  shut  it  down  manually  or  reboot.  If you have the eql support
       compiled as a module then all you have to do is to  remove  the  module
       after downing the interface.

       Note  that  you  have  to connect to a terminal server capable of doing
       load balancing or another Linux box to use EQL.

EXAMPLES

       # Client Side EQL Driver Initialization

       ifconfig eql 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 mtu 1500

       eql_enslave eql ppp0 33600

       eql_enslave eql ppp1 14400

       eql_enslave eql ppp2 28800
