As such you can find it in `sys/shell/commands/sc_netif.c`. (When I'm not sure were something is located in RIOT, I use `git grep` ;-)) > > 1.

On native there is no RF, so we use TAP [1] [2] to virtualize an Ethernet connection. Since native doesn't have a serial line either (since it is just a process in the host OS, utilizing normal stdin/stdout) we decided to "misuse" the PORT environment variable for native to point to the TAP instead to the serial device (so that might be where your confusion stems from). For physical boards you can however also send packets via serial line, if you wish to (for a border router e.g.), using SLIP [3]. See my last mail for how to activate that in RIOT.
