DLPI Primitives Local Management Primitives The message is valid in any attached state in which a local acknowledgement is not pending. For a style 2 provider, this would be after a PPA is attached using the DL_ATTACH_REQ. For a style 1 provider, the PPA is implicitly attached after the stream is opened. New State The resulting state is unchanged. Response The provider responds to the request with a DL_OK_ACK on successful completion. Otherwise, a DL_ERROR_ACK is returned. Reasons for Failure DL_BADADDR The address information was invalid or was in an incorrect format. DL_NOTSUPPORTED The primitive is known, but not supported by the DLS provider. DL_SYSERR A system error has occurred. The UNIX error returned may be set to (not limited to) errors listed in Table 2-2 on page 71. DL_OUTSTATE The primitive was issued from an invalid state. DL_BUSY One or more streams for that particular PPA are in the DL_BOUND state. Fine-grained Privileges Starting HP-UX 11i v3, HP DLPI allows network related administrative tasks such as setting the physical address of an interface only for users with PRIV_NETADMIN privilege. For more information on the fine-grained privileges, see "Fine-grained Privileges" on page 17. Chapter 2 97
