1. The "route" command allows route insertion through the interface-direct option "-iface". During if_attach(), an sockaddr_dl{} entry is created for the interface and is part of the interface address list. This sockaddr_dl{} entry describes the interface in detail. The "route" command selects this entry as the "gateway" object when the "-iface" option is present. The "arp" and "ndp" commands also interact with the kernel through the routing socket when adding and removing static L2 entries. The static L2 information is also provided through the "gateway" object with an AF_LINK family type, similar to what is provided by the "route" command. In order to differentiate between these two types of operations, a RTF_LLDATA flag is introduced. This flag is set by the "arp" and "ndp" commands when issuing the add and delete commands. This flag is also set in each L2 entry returned by the kernel. The "arp" and "ndp" command follows a convention where a RTM_GET is issued first followed by a RTM_ADD/DELETE. This RTM_GET request fills in the fields for a "rtm" object, which is reinjected into the kernel by a subsequent RTM_ADD/DELETE command. The entry returend from RTM_GET is a prefix route, so the RTF_LLDATA flag must be specified when issuing the RTM_ADD/DELETE messages. 2. Enforce the convention that NET_RT_FLAGS with a 0 w_arg is the specification for retrieving L2 information. Also optimized the code logic. Reviewed by: julian |

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``world'' target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not changed from the currently running version. See: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
