HP DLPI Features

Hewlett-Packard’s implementation of the Data Link Provider Interface, HP DLPI, conforms to the DLPI Version 2.0 Speciﬁcation as a Style 2 provider. HP DLPI offers data link service users:

•Clone (maximum 900) and non-clone (maximum 100) access.

•Support for Ethernet/IEEE802.3, FDDI, Fibre Channel, 100VG and Token Ring.

•Support for connectionless and connection-mode services (connection-mode services are supported only over IEEE802.3 and Token Ring).

•Also support for raw-mode services. For details on raw mode, see the DL_BIND_REQ, DL_HP_RAW_REQ and DL_HP_RAW_IND primitives. Raw mode is supported on Ethernet/802.3, FDDI, Token Ring, Fibre Channel and 100VG.

•Style 2.

•I_STR ioctl is supported for doing device-speciﬁc control/diagnostic requests.

•Priority messages are supported over 100VG (see DL_UNIT_DATA_REQ primitive).

•For support of third-party devices, refer to the third-party user manuals.

•Support for the following HP products: Ethernet/IEEE802.3, FDDI, Fibre Channel, 100VG and Token Ring.

•The following devices support all levels of promiscuous mode: NIO ethernet LAN, J2146A (HP-PB) NIO LAN only (the 36967A-20N (HP-PB) card is NOT supported), CIO ethernet LAN driver, Series 700 core and HP EISA LAN. For support of third-party devices, refer to the third-party user manuals.

The HP ATM adapter provides its own “native” DLPI provider, which should not be confused with this DLPI provider.

HP DLPI does not currently include:

• Quality of Service (QOS) management.
