Introduction[edit]
DM814x Switch can be configured in various different combination of Ethernet Packet forwarding and blocking. There is no such standard interface in Linux to configure a switch. This user guide provides an interface to configure the switch using Socket IOCTL through SIOCDEVPRIVATE command.
Switch Config Commands[edit]
Following is sample code for configuring the switch.
<syntaxhighlight lang="c">
- include <stdio.h>
...
- include <linux/net_switch_config.h>
int main(void) { struct net_switch_config cmd_struct; struct ifreq ifr; int sockfd; strncpy(ifr.ifr_name, "eth0", IFNAMSIZ); ifr.ifr_data = (char*)&cmd_struct; if ((sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0)) < 0) { printf("Can't open the socket\n"); return -1; } memset(&cmd_struct, 0, sizeof(struct net_switch_config));
...//initialise cmd_struct with switch commands
if (ioctl(sockfd, SIOCDEVPRIVATE, &ifr) < 0) { printf("Command failed\n"); close(sockfd); return -1; } printf("command success\n"); close(sockfd); return 0; } </syntaxhighlight>
