Implementing a MUX-Based Network Interface Driver
STATUS endMCastAddAddr
(
void* pCookie, /* pointer to a device-identifying END_OBJ structure */
char* pAddress /* pointer to address to add */
)
To help you manage a list of multicast addresses, VxWorks provides the library
etherMultiLib.
This function should return OK or ERROR. If an error occurs, it should set errno.
The parameters are:
pCookie
Passes in a pointer to the END_OBJ structure returned by endLoad( ).
pAddress
Passes in a pointer to the address you want to add to the list. To help you
manage a list of multicast addresses, VxWorks includes the library,
etherMultiLib.
Within your endMCastAddrAdd( ), you must reconfigure the interface in a
hardware-specific way. This reconfiguration should let the driver receive
frames from the specified address and then pass those frames up to the higher
layer.
Deleting a Multicast Address: endMCastAddrDel( )
Your endMCastAddrDel( ) entry point must delete an address from the multicast
table maintained by the device. Your endMCastAddrDel( ) must take the
following form:
H
STATUS endMCastDelAddr
(
void* pCookie, /* pointer to a device-identifying END_OBJ structure */
char* pAddress /* pointer to address to delete */
)
This function should return OK or ERROR. If an error occurred, it should set errno.
The parameters are:
pCookie
Passes a pointer to the END_OBJ structure returned by endLoad( ).
pAddress
Passes a pointer to the address you must delete. To help you manage a list of
multicast addresses, VxWorks includes the library, etherMultiLib.
