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 ATTRIBUTES

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 ATTRIBUTES
