Device Control Operations

The atmle_ctl function is used to provide device control functions.

The atmle_ctl function provides the following controls:

ATMLE_MIB_GET
This control requests the LANE device driver's current ATM LAN Emulation MIB statistics.
ATMLE_MIB_QUERY
This control requests the LANE device driver's ATM LAN Emulation MIB support structure.
NDD_CLEAR_STATS
This control requests all the statistics counters kept by the LANE device driver to be zeroed.
NDD_DISABLE_ADDRESS
This command disables the receipt of packets destined for a multicast/group address; and for Token Ring, it disables the receipt of packets destined for a functional address.
NDD_DISABLE_MULTICAST
The NDD_DISABLE_MULTICAST command disables the receipt of all packets with unregistered multicast addresses, and only receives those packets whose multicast addresses were registered using the NDD_ENABLE_ADDRESS command.
NDD_ENABLE_ADDRESS
The NDD_ENABLE_ADDRESS command enables the receipt of packets destined for a multicast/group address; and additionally for Token Ring, it enables the receipt of packets destined for a functional address.
NDD_ENABLE_MULTICAST
The NDD_ENABLE_MULTICAST command enables the receipt of packets with any multicast (or group) address.
NDD_DEBUG_TRACE
This control requests a LANE or MPOA driver to toggle the current state of its debug_trace configuration flag.
NDD_GET_ALL_STATS
This control requests all current LANE statistics, based on both the generic LAN statistics and the ATM LANE protocol in progress.
NDD_GET_STATS
This control requests the current generic LAN statistics based on the LAN protocol being emulated.
NDD_MIB_ADDR
This control requests the current receive addresses that are enabled on the LANE device driver.
NDD_MIB_GET
This control requests the current MIB statistics based on whether the LAN being emulated is Ethernet or Token Ring.
NDD_MIB_QUERY
This control requests LANE device driver's MIB support structure based on whether the LAN being emulated is Ethernet or Token Ring.
