dlpi_promiscon(3DLPI)				  Data Link Provider Interface Library Functions			     dlpi_promiscon(3DLPI)

NAME

       dlpi_promiscon, dlpi_promiscoff - enable or disable DLPI promiscuous mode

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -ldlpi [ library... ]
       #include <libdlpi.h>

       int dlpi_promiscon(dlpi_handle_t dh, uint_t level);

       int dlpi_promiscoff(dlpi_handle_t dh, uint_t level);

DESCRIPTION

       The  dlpi_promiscon()  function	enables  promiscuous  mode on a DLPI link instance associated with DLPI handle dh, at the specified level.
       After enabling promiscuous mode, the caller will be able to receive all messages destined for the  DLPI	link  instance	at  the  specified
       level. This operation can be performed in any DLPI state of a handle.

       The  dlpi_promiscoff()  function  disables promiscuous mode on a DLPI link instance associated with DLPI handle dh, at the specified level.
       This operation can be performed in any DLPI state of a handle in which promiscuous mode is enabled at the specified level.

       The level modes are:

       DL_PROMISC_PHYS	   Promiscuous mode at the physical level

       DL_PROMISC_SAP	   Promiscuous mode at the SAP level

       DL_PROMISC_MULTI    Promiscuous mode for all multicast addresses

RETURN VALUES

       Upon success, DLPI_SUCCESS is  returned. If DL_SYSERR is returned, errno contains the specific UNIX system error value. Otherwise,  a  DLPI
       error value defined in <sys/dlpi.h> or an error value listed in the following section is returned.

ERRORS

       DLPI_EBADMSG	 Bad DLPI message

       DLPI_EINHANDLE	 Invalid DLPI handle

       DLPI_EINVAL	 Invalid argument

       DLPI_ETIMEDOUT	 DLPI operation timed out

dlpi_enabmulti(3DLPI)				  Data Link Provider Interface Library Functions			     dlpi_enabmulti(3DLPI)

NAME

       dlpi_enabmulti, dlpi_disabmulti - enable or disable DLPI multicast messages for an address

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -ldlpi [ library... ]
       #include <libdlpi.h>

       int dlpi_enabmulti(dlpi_handle_t dh, const void *addrp,
	    size_t addrlen);

       int dlpi_disabmulti(dlpi_handle_t dh, const void *addrp,
	    size_t addrlen);

DESCRIPTION

       The dlpi_enabmulti() function enables reception of messages destined to the multicast address pointed to by addrp on the DLPI link instance
       associated with DLPI handle dh. The DLPI link instance will pass up only those messages destined  for  enabled  multicast  addresses.  This
       operation can be performed in any DLPI state of a handle.

       The  dlpi_disabmulti()  function  disables a specified multicast address pointed to by addrp on the DLPI link instance associated with DLPI
       handle dh. This operation can be performed in any DLPI state of a handle.

RETURN VALUES

       Upon success, DLPI_SUCCESS is returned. If DL_SYSERR is returned, errno contains the specific UNIX system error value.  Otherwise,  a  DLPI
       error value defined in <sys/dlpi.h> or DLPI_EINHANDLE is returned.

ERRORS

       DLPI_EBADMSG	 Bad DLPI message

       DLPI_EINHANDLE	 Invalid DLPI handle

       DLPI_EINVAL	 Invalid argument

       DLPI_ETIMEDOUT	 DLPI operation timed out
