Overview
|
|
********
|
|
|
|
Ethernet management API provides functions to manage the Ethernet
|
|
network interface low level status. The caller of these functions can:
|
|
|
|
* raise ``carrier ON`` or ``carrier OFF`` management events
|
|
* raise ``VLAN enabled`` or ``VLAN disabled`` management events
|
|
|
|
Typically the ``carrier OFF`` event would be generated by the Ethernet
|
|
device driver when it notices that the Ethernet cable is disconnected.
|
|
The ``carrier ON`` event would be generated if the Ethernet device driver
|
|
notices that the Ethernet cable is re-connected.
|
|
|
|
Currently the VLAN events are generated by the Ethernet L2 layer when a
|
|
specific VLAN tag is either enabled or disabled.
|
|
|
|
The user application can monitor these events if it needs to act
|
|
when the corresponding status changes.
