.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm ng_ether
|
|
.Nd Ethernet netgraph node type
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include <netgraph/ng_ether.h>
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm ether
|
|
netgraph node type allows Ethernet interfaces to interact with
|
|
the
|
|
.Xr netgraph 4
|
|
networking subsystem. The kernel must be compiled with
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
options NETGRAPH
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
for this functionality to be enabled.
|
|
This causes a netgraph node to be automatically created for each Ethernet
|
|
interface in the system. The node will have a name equal to
|
|
the name of the interface, and it will be persistent.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The Ethernet interface continues to function normally until a connection
|
|
is made to one of the two supported hooks,
|
|
.Dv orphans
|
|
or
|
|
.Dv divert .
|
|
The
|
|
.Dv orphans
|
|
hook is used to receive Ethernet frames received by the device and
|
|
having an unknown or unsupported Ethertype.
|
|
The
|
|
.Dv divert
|
|
hook is used to divert
|
|
.Em all
|
|
Ethernet frames received by the device; the interface will otherwise
|
|
appear to go silent until this hook is disconnected.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Either hook may be used to transmit Ethernet frames by transmitting packets
|
|
to the hook. In all cases, frames are raw Ethernet frames with the standard
|
|
14 byte Ethernet header (but no checksum).
|
|
.Sh HOOKS
|
|
This node type supports the following hooks:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width orphans
|
|
.It Dv orphans
|
|
This hook transmits Ethernet frames received by the device and
|
|
having an unknown or unsupported Ethertype. Frames received on
|
|
this hook are written as-is out on the wire.
|
|
.It Dv divert
|
|
When connected, this hook transmits all Ethernet frames received by the device.
|
|
Frames received on this hook are written as-is out on the wire.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh CONTROL MESSAGES
|
|
This node type supports only the generic control messages.
|
|
.Sh SHUTDOWN
|
|
This node is persistent. Upon receipt of a
|
|
.Dv NGM_SHUTDOWN
|
|
control message, all hooks are disconnected.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLE
|
|
This command will dump all packets received by the
|
|
.Dv fxp0
|
|
interface to standard output as decoded hex and ASCII:
|
|
.Bl -literal
|
|
|
|
nghook -a fxp0: divert
|
|
.El
|
