DLPI Primitives Local Management Primitives Before or after the STREAM has been bound, the DLPI user receives all traffic on the wire regardless of protocol or physical address. DL_PROMISC_SAP Before or after the STREAM has been bound, the DLPI user receives all traffic destined for this interface (physical addresses, broadcast addresses or bound multicast addresses) that matches any protocol enabled on that interface. DL_PROMISC_MULTI Before or after the STREAM has been bound, the DLPI user receives all multicast packets on the wire regardless of the protocol it is destined for. State The message is valid in any state when there is no pending acknowledgment. New State The resulting state is unchanged. Response If enabling of promiscuous mode is successful, a DL_OK_ACK is returned. Otherwise, a DL_ERROR_ACK is returned. Reasons for Failure DL_OUTSTATE Primitive was issued from an invalid state. DL_SYSERR A system error has occurred and the UNIX system error is indicated in the DL_ERROR_ACK. The UNIX error returned may be set to (not limited to) errors listed in Table 2-2 on page 71. DL_NOTSUPPORTED Primitive is known but not supported by the DLS Provider. DL_UNSUPPORTED 86 Chapter 2
