on page 216 and Authentication on page 217.
Station-specific values for these parameters can be set using the
paramset commands described in section Commands for Parameter
Sets on page 293.
Alternative Interfaces
Alternative interfaces are interfaces that provide similar networking
functionality, but use different routes and/or media. For example, if
netif1 is marked as alternate to netif0 it means that:
- If a service is trying open connection through netif0 and netif1 is
already open, netif1 will be used instead.
- If netif1 is requested for use, netif0 will not be used as its alternate.
Using alternative interfaces is optional, and should not be mixed with
primary/secondary interfaces associated with TCP/IP-based services,
which are used to provide backup mechanisms for services.
