29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm ng_etf
32.Nd Ethertype filtering netgraph node type
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34.In netgraph.h
35.In netgraph/ng_etf.h
36.Sh DESCRIPTION
37The
38.Nm etf
39node type multiplexes and filters data between hooks on the basis
40of the ethertype found in an Ethernet header, presumed to be in the
41first 14 bytes of the data.
42Incoming Ethernet frames are accepted on the
43.Em downstream
44hook and if the ethertype matches a value which the node has been configured
45to filter, the packet is forwarded out the hook which was identified
46at the time that value was configured.
47If it does not match a configured
48value, it is passed to the
49.Em nomatch
50hook.
51If the
52.Em nomatch
53hook is not connected, the packet is dropped.
54.Pp
55Packets travelling in the other direction (towards the
56.Em downstream
57hook) are also examined and filtered.
58If a packet has an ethertype that matches one of the values configured
59into the node, it must have arrived in on the hook for which that value
60was configured, otherwise it will be discarded.
61Ethertypes of values other
62than those configured by the control messages must have arrived via the
63.Em nomatch
64hook.
65.Sh HOOKS
66This node type supports the following hooks:
67.Bl -tag -width ".Aq Em any legal name"
68.It Em downstream
69Typically this hook would be connected to a
70.Xr ng_ether 4
71node, using the
72.Em lower
73hook.
74.It Em nomatch
75Typically this hook would also be connected to an
76.Xr ng_ether 4
77type node using the
78.Em upper
79hook.
80.It Aq Em "any legal name"
81Any other hook name will be accepted and can be used as the match target
82of an ethertype.
83Typically this hook would be attached to
84a protocol handling node that requires and generates packets
85with a particular set of ethertypes.
86.El
87.Sh CONTROL MESSAGES
88This node type supports the generic control messages, plus the following:
89.Bl -tag -width 4n
90.It Dv NGM_ETF_GET_STATUS Pq Ic getstatus
91This command returns a
92.Vt "struct ng_etfstat"
93containing node statistics for packet counts.
94.It Dv NGM_ETF_SET_FILTER Pq Ic setfilter
95Sets the a new ethertype filter into the node and specifies the hook to and
96from which packets of that type should use.
97The hook and ethertype
98are specified in a structure of type
99.Vt "struct ng_etffilter" :
100.Bd -literal -offset 4n
101struct ng_etffilter {
102    char	matchhook[NG_HOOKSIZ];	/* hook name */
103    uint16_t	ethertype;		/* this ethertype to this hook */
104};
105.Ed
106.El
107.Sh EXAMPLES
108Using
109.Xr ngctl 8
110it is possible to set a filter in place from the command line
111as follows:
112.Bd -literal -offset 4n
113#!/bin/sh
114ETHER_IF=fxp0
115MATCH1=0x834
116MATCH2=0x835
117cat <<DONE >/tmp/xwert
118# Make a new ethertype filter and attach to the Ethernet lower hook.
119# first remove left over bits from last time.
120shutdown ${ETHER_IF}:lower
121mkpeer ${ETHER_IF}: etf lower downstream
122# Give it a name to easily refer to it.
123name ${ETHER_IF}:lower etf
124# Connect the nomatch hook to the upper part of the same interface.
125# All unmatched packets will act as if the filter is not present.
126connect ${ETHER_IF}: etf: upper nomatch
127DONE
128ngctl -f /tmp/xwert
129
130# something to set a hook to catch packets and show them.
131echo "Unrecognised packets:"
132nghook -a etf: newproto &
133# Filter two random ethertypes to that hook.
134ngctl 'msg etf: setfilter { matchhook="newproto" ethertype=${MATCH1} }
135ngctl 'msg etf: setfilter { matchhook="newproto" ethertype=${MATCH2} }
136.Ed
137.Sh SHUTDOWN
138This node shuts down upon receipt of a
139.Dv NGM_SHUTDOWN
140control message, or when all hooks have been disconnected.
