DLPI Primitives
Local Management Primitives
dl_mtu
MTU
dl_hdw_state
hardware state
dl_module_id_1
default module ID name for the stream. The default name is “lan.”
This value is used as the interface name when executing the
ifconfig command.
dl_module_id_2
optional module ID name for streams that support multiple
encapsulation types. If the user is attached to a stream that supports
ETHER and IEEE8023, then this name is set to “snap.” Otherwise,
the field is set to NULL. This value is used as the interface name
when executing the ifconfig command.
dl_arpmod_name
identifies the ARP helper module for the network interface. If the
driver does not have an ARP helper, this field will be NULL.
dl_nmid
identifies the network management ID value for a specific interface.
dl_reserved[1,2]
reserved fields
State
The message is valid in any State in response to a DL_PPA_REQ.
New State
The resulting state is unchanged.
DL_INFO_REQ
Requests information of the DLS provider about the DLPI stream. This
information includes a set of provider-specific parameters, as well as the
current state of the interface.
