.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm ng_iface
|
|
.Nd interface netgraph node type
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include <netgraph/ng_iface.h>
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
An
|
|
.Nm iface
|
|
node is both a netgraph node and a system networking interface. When an
|
|
.Nm iface
|
|
node is created, a new point-to-point interface appears which is accessible via
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8 .
|
|
The new interfaces are named
|
|
.Dv ng0 ,
|
|
.Dv ng1 ,
|
|
etc. The node is assigned the same name as its interface, unless the name
|
|
already exists, in which case the node remains unnamed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm Iface
|
|
nodes have a single hook corresponding to each supported protocol.
|
|
Packets transmitted via the interface flow out the corresponding
|
|
protocol-specific hook.
|
|
Similarly, packets received on a hook appear on the interface as
|
|
packets received in the corresponding protocol.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The currently supported protocols are IP, IPX, AppleTalk, and NS.
|
|
In the KLD module, only support for IP is compiled in by default.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm Iface
|
|
nodes support the Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF).
|
|
In the KLD module, this support is disabled by default.
|
|
.Sh HOOKS
|
|
This node type supports the following hooks:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width foobar
|
|
.It Dv inet
|
|
Transmission and reception of IP packets.
|
|
.It Dv ipx
|
|
Transmission and reception of IPX packets.
|
|
.It Dv atalk
|
|
Transmission and reception of AppleTalk packets.
|
|
.It Dv ns
|
|
Transmission and reception of NS packets.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh CONTROL MESSAGES
|
|
This node type supports the generic control messages, plus the following:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width foo
|
|
.It Dv NGM_IFACE_GET_IFNAME
|
|
Returns the name of the interface corresponding to this node in a
|
|
.Dv "struct ng_iface_ifname" :
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset 4n
|
|
struct ng_iface_ifname {
|
|
char ngif_name[NG_IFACE_IFACE_NAME_MAX + 1];
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.It Dv NGM_IFACE_GET_IFADDRS
|
|
Returns the list of addresses associated with this interface.
|
|
The list is returned in the same format as the
|
|
.Dv SIOCGIFCONF
|
|
ioctl().
|
|
.It Dv NGM_CISCO_GET_IPADDR
|
|
This message is defined by the
|
|
.Xr ng_cisco 8
|
|
node type; see
|
|
.Xr ng_cisco 8
|
|
for a description.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh SHUTDOWN
|
|
Because it is currently not possible to remove a system networking
|
|
interface in FreeBSD,
|
|
.Nm iface
|
|
nodes are
|
|
.Em persistent.
|
|
That is, once created they are never destroyed.
|
|
The receipt of a
|
|
.Dv NGM_SHUTDOWN
|
|
control message disconnects all hooks but does not remove the node.
