3.1 device add

3.1.1 Syntax

device add

3.1.2 Description

This command adds a device to the bridge configuration. Attempts to add the bridge
itself or an existing device to the bridge are rejected.
Attempts to add devices which don’t support the Cyan interface are rejected. There
is a limit on the number of devices that can be attached to the bridge. If the device
being added is from a process which supports multiple devices, the /DEVICE
attribute must be specified as part of the device name. The table below shows
devices which may be attached to the bridge, although not all systems may support
all devices.

Using the BUN RFC1483 driver
This example shows how to add the BUN RFC1483 driver, dynamically from the
console. You need to define and configure a device and a port.
Normally, the RFC1483 BUN device will pass all data straight through, untouched.
This means that even though you have changed your port definition to include the
RFC1483 driver, you can still use other protocols on the same port. In order to
enable RFC1483 encapsulation, the RFC1483 attribute on the channel must be set to
true.
The channel attribute mode dictates the functional behaviour of the driver, in terms
of encapsulation method to use and traffic nature (bridged/routed). The channel
