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
