The [[subhurds' +page|hurd/subhurd]] has a guide to show you how to do this. + +Here's a basic example to get you started using the eth-multiplexer. +To do so, install the multiplexer at `/dev/eth0m`. + + # settrans -c /dev/eth0m /hurd/eth-multiplexer --interface=/dev/eth0 + +Then configure your main Hurd system to use the virtual network +interface `/dev/eth0m/0` instead of `/dev/eth0`. On Debian/Hurd, this +can be accomplished via: + + # ifdown /dev/eth0 + # sed -i -e s_/dev/eth0_/dev/eth0m/0_ /etc/network/interfaces + # ifup /dev/eth0m/0 + +Now you are all set to follow the [[subhurd's guide|hurd/subhurd]] to +set up a subhurd's networking! If you want to do more cool stuff with +the `eth-multiplexer`, then you could take a look at the +[[hurd/translator/lwip]] page or [[hurd/translator/remap]] page. |
