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

       eql_enslave eql ppp0 33600

       eql_enslave eql ppp1 14400
