NG_FEC(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual NG_FEC(4) NAME
ng_fec -- netgraph Fast EtherChannel node SYNOPSIS
#include <netgraph/ng_fec.h> DESCRIPTION
The fec node implements Ethernet port trunking using the ``Cisco Fast EtherChannel'' protocol. Upon creation, a fec node creates a network interface associated with it. Interfaces are named ``fec0'', ``fec1'', etc. New nodes take the first available unit. HOOKS
The fec node accepts any hooks. However it does not use them. Under normal operation, a fec node should not have any hooks. CONTROL MESSAGES
Interface membership in the FEC group is configured with the following control messages: NGM_FEC_ADD_IFACE (``add_iface'') Attach interface to the FEC group. The target interface name is passed as a string argument. NGM_FEC_DEL_IFACE (``del_iface'') Remove interface from the trunk. The target interface name is passed as a string argument. The following control messages define the forwarding method for a node: NGM_FEC_SET_MODE_MAC (``set_mode_mac'') Forwarding decisions will be based on the link-layer MAC address of the destination. NGM_FEC_SET_MODE_INET (``set_mode_inet'') Forwarding decisions will be based on the IP address of the destination. SHUTDOWN
This node shuts down upon receipt of a NGM_SHUTDOWN control message. EXAMPLES
The following example script creates an fec node, attaches four Ethernet interfaces to it and sets the forwarding method to be IP-address based: /usr/sbin/ngctl -f- << SEQ mkpeer fec dummy fec msg fec0: add_iface "dc0" msg fec0: add_iface "dc1" msg fec0: add_iface "dc2" msg fec0: add_iface "dc3" msg fec0: set_mode_inet SEQ SEE ALSO
netgraph(4) HISTORY
The fec node type was implemented in FreeBSD 5.0. AUTHORS
