DLPI Primitives

Local Management Primitives

The message consists one M_PROTO message block containing the structure shown below.

typedef struct {

 

ulong

dl_primitive;

ulong

dl_stat_length;

ulong

dl_stat_offset;

} dl_get_statistics_ack_t;

Parameters

dl_primitive

DL_GET_STATISTICS_ACK

dl_stat_length

length of the statistics structure.

dl_stat_offset

offset from the beginning of the M_PCPROTO message block where the statistics information resides.

State

The message is valid in any state in response to a

DL_GET_STATISTICS_REQ.

New State

The resulting state is unchanged.

The DL_GET_STATISTICS_ACK returns standard mib and optionally extended mib information for all HP supported networking interfaces. It is up to the DLPI user to check the interface-specific field of the Interface MIB to determine whether there is a transmission MIB.

DL_HP_MULTICAST_LIST_REQ

Requests the DLS Provider to return a list of all currently enabled multicast addresses on a specific LAN interface.

Format

The message consists one M_PROTO message block containing the structure shown below.

typedef struct {

ulong dl_primitive; } dl_hp_multicast_list_req_t;_
