Typedef Documentation

eth_bridge_cb_t

eth_bridge_cb_t

#include <include/zephyr/net/ethernet_bridge.h>

Callback used while iterating over bridge instances.

Parameters

br	Pointer to bridge context instance
user_data	User supplied data

Function Documentation

eth_bridge_get_by_index()

struct net_if * eth_bridge_get_by_index

(

int

index

)

#include <include/zephyr/net/ethernet_bridge.h>

Get bridge instance according to index.

Parameters

index

Bridge instance index

Returns

Pointer to bridge interface or NULL if not found.

eth_bridge_get_index()

int eth_bridge_get_index

(

struct net_if *

br

)

#include <include/zephyr/net/ethernet_bridge.h>

Get bridge index according to pointer.

Parameters

br	Pointer to bridge instance

Returns

Bridge index

eth_bridge_iface_add()

int eth_bridge_iface_add	(	struct net_if *	br,
		struct net_if *	iface
	)

#include <include/zephyr/net/ethernet_bridge.h>

Add an Ethernet network interface to a bridge.

This adds a network interface to a bridge. The interface is then put into promiscuous mode. After more than one Ethernet interfaces are added to the bridge interface, the bridge interface is setup. After the setup is done, the bridge interface can be brought up so that it can start bridging L2 traffic.

Parameters

br	A pointer to a bridge interface
iface	Interface to add

Returns

0 if OK, negative error code otherwise.

eth_bridge_iface_remove()

int eth_bridge_iface_remove	(	struct net_if *	br,
		struct net_if *	iface
	)

#include <include/zephyr/net/ethernet_bridge.h>

Remove an Ethernet network interface from a bridge.

If the bridge interface setup has only one Ethernet interface left after this function call, the bridge is disabled as it cannot bridge the L2 traffic any more. The bridge interface is left in UP state if this case.

Parameters

br	A pointer to a bridge interface
iface	Interface to remove

Returns

0 if OK, negative error code otherwise.

net_eth_bridge_foreach()

void net_eth_bridge_foreach	(	eth_bridge_cb_t	cb,
		void *	user_data
	)

#include <include/zephyr/net/ethernet_bridge.h>

Go through all the bridge context instances in order to get information about them.

This is mainly useful in net-shell to print data about currently active bridges.

Parameters

cb	Callback to call for each bridge instance
user_data	User supplied data
