Dear Julian,
I have re-compiled the kernel with NETGRAPH_ETHER and NETGRAPH_IFACE. I
failed to create the lmi node :-
#ngctl mkpeer sync_ar0: frame_relay rawdata downstream
#ngctl name sync_ar0:rawdata fr-mux
#ngctl mkpeer fr-mux: lmi dlci0 ansi
ngctl: send msg: Invalid arguments
Command "ngctl types" returns :-
There are 7 total types:
Type name Number of living nodes
--------- ----------------------
socket 1
frame_relay 1
ether 3
rfc1490 0
lmi 0
iface 0
sync_ar 2
Command "ngctl show fr-mux:" returns :-
Name: fr-mux Type: frame_relay ID: 00000007 Num hooks: 1
Local hook Peer name Peer type Peer ID Peer
hook
---------- --------- --------- -------
---------
downstream sync_ar0 sync_ar 00000001
rawdata
Except the brief description on manpage, please help to advise where I
could find the detailed documentation (e.g. user guides or admin guides
etc.) about what node types and hooks are available in netgraph.
Thank you very much.
