NG_PPPOE(4) FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual NG_PPPOE(4) NAME ng_pppoe -- RFC 2516 PPPoE protocol netgraph node type SYNOPSIS #include <net/ethernet.h> #include <netgraph/ng_pppoe.h> DESCRIPTION The pppoe node type performs the PPPoE protocol. It is used in conjunc- tion with the netgraph(4) extensions to the Ethernet framework to divert and inject Ethernet packets to and from a PPP agent (which is not speci- fied). The NGM_PPPOE_GET_STATUS control message can be used at any time to query the current status of the PPPoE module. The only statistics presently available are the total packet counts for input and output. This node does not yet support the NGM_TEXT_STATUS control message. HOOKS This node type supports the following hooks: ethernet The hook that should normally be connected to an Ethernet node. debug Presently no use. [unspecified] Any other name is assumed to be a session hook that will be connected to a PPP client agent, or a PPP server agent. CONTROL MESSAGES This node type supports the generic control messages, plus the following: NGM_PPPOE_GET_STATUS This command returns status information in a struct ngpppoestat: struct ngpppoestat { u_int packets_in; /* packets in from Ethernet */ u_int packets_out; /* packets out towards Ethernet */ }; NGM_TEXT_STATUS This generic message returns is a human-readable version of the node status. (not yet) NGM_PPPOE_CONNECT Tell a nominated newly created hook that it's session should enter the state machine in a manner to become a client. It must be newly created and a service name can be given as an argument. It is legal to specify a zero length service name. This is common on some DSL setups. A session request packet will be broadcast on the Ethernet. This command uses the ngpppoe_init_data structure shown below. NGM_PPPOE_LISTEN Tell a nominated newly created hook that it's session should enter the state machine in a manner to become a server listener. The argument given is the name of the service to listen on behalf of a zero length service length will match all requests for service. A matching service request packet will be passed unmodified back to the process responsible for starting the service. It can then exam- ine it and pass it on to the session that is started to answer the request. This command uses the ngpppoe_init_data structure shown below. NGM_PPPOE_OFFER Tell a nominated newly created hook that it's session should enter the state machine in a manner to become a server. The argument given is the name of the service to offer. A zero length service is legal. The State machine will progress to a state where it will await a request packet to be forwarded to it from the startup server, which in turn probably received it from a LISTEN mode hook ( see above). This is so that information that is required for the session that is embedded in the original session request packet, is made available to the state machine that eventually answers the request. When the Session request packet is received, the session negotiation will proceed. This command uses the ngpppoe_init_data structure shown below. The three commands above use a common data structure: struct ngpppoe_init_data { char hook[NG_HOOKSIZ]; /* hook to monitor on */ u_int16_t data_len; /* service name length */ char data[0]; /* init data goes here */ }; NGM_PPPOE_SUCCESS This command is sent to the node that started this session with one of the above messages, and reports a state change. This message reports successful Session negotiation. It uses the structure shown below, and reports back the hook name corresponding to the success- ful session. NGM_NGM_PPPOE_FAIL This command is sent to the node that started this session with one of the above messages, and reports a state change. This message reports failed Session negotiation. It uses the structure shown below, and reports back the hook name corresponding to the failed session. The hook will probably have been removed immediately after sending this message NGM_NGM_PPPOE_CLOSE This command is sent to the node that started this session with one of the above messages, and reports a state change. This message reports a request to close a session. It uses the structure shown below, and reports back the hook name corresponding to the closed session. The hook will probably have been removed immediately after sending this message. At present this message is not yet used and a 'failed' message will be received at closure instead. NGM_PPPOE_ACNAME This command is sent to the node that started this session with one of the above messages, and reports the Access Concentrator Name. The four commands above use a common data structure: struct ngpppoe_sts { char hook[NG_HOOKSIZ]; /* hook associated with event session */ }; NGM_PPPOE_GETMODE The ng_pppoe node can operate in two different modes: standard mode described in RFC 2516, and in a non-standard mode compatible with equipment from 3Com. When ng_pppoe is a client node, it initiates a session using the configured mode. In server mode ng_pppoe supports both modes simultaneously. This message returns the currently con- figured mode as a string. ASCII form of this message is "pppoe_getmode". NGM_PPPOE_SETMODE Configure node to the specified mode. The string argument is required. ASCII form of this message is "pppoe_setmode". For exam- ple, the following command will configure the node to initiate the next session in the proprietary 3Com mode: ngctl msg fxp0:orphans pppoe_setmode 3Com SHUTDOWN This node shuts down upon receipt of a NGM_SHUTDOWN control message, when all session have been disconnected or when the ethernet hook is discon- nected. SYSCTL VARIABLES The variable net.graph.nonstandard_pppoe is a deprecated way to set ng_pppoe client mode. Consider using NGM_PPPOE_SETMODE or an appropriate option in your client software instead. EXAMPLES The following code uses libnetgraph to set up a ng_pppoe node and connect it to both a socket node and an Ethernet node. It can handle the case of when a ng_pppoe node is already attached to the Ethernet. It then starts a client session. #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <ctype.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sysexits.h> #include <errno.h> #include <err.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <sys/select.h> #include <net/ethernet.h> #include <netgraph.h> #include <netgraph/ng_ether.h> #include <netgraph/ng_pppoe.h> #include <netgraph/ng_socket.h> static int setup(char *ethername, char *service, char *sessname, int *dfd, int *cfd); int main() { int fd1, fd2; setup("xl0", NULL, "fred", &fd1, &fd2); sleep (30); } static int setup(char *ethername, char *service, char *sessname, int *dfd, int *cfd) { struct ngm_connect ngc; /* connect */ struct ngm_mkpeer mkp; /* mkpeer */ /******** nodeinfo stuff **********/ u_char rbuf[2 * 1024]; struct ng_mesg *const resp = (struct ng_mesg *) rbuf; struct hooklist *const hlist = (struct hooklist *) resp->data; struct nodeinfo *const ninfo = &hlist->nodeinfo; int ch, no_hooks = 0; struct linkinfo *link; struct nodeinfo *peer; /****message to connect PPPoE session*****/ struct { struct ngpppoe_init_data idata; char service[100]; } message; /********tracking our little graph ********/ char path[100]; char source_ID[NG_NODESIZ]; char pppoe_node_name[100]; int k; /* * Create the data and control sockets */ if (NgMkSockNode(NULL, cfd, dfd) < 0) { return (errno); } /* * find the ether node of the name requested by asking it for * it's inquiry information. */ if (strlen(ethername) > 16) return (EINVAL); sprintf(path, "%s:", ethername); if (NgSendMsg(*cfd, path, NGM_GENERIC_COOKIE, NGM_LISTHOOKS, NULL, 0) < 0) { return (errno); } /* * the command was accepted so it exists.
