Detailed Description

A network interface on which VRRP runs.

This interface provides the means via which VRRP receives and send packets.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void VrrpInterface::add_mac ( const Mac & mac ) [pure virtual]

Add a MAC address to this interface.

Parameters:

mac	MAC address to add.

virtual const IPv4& VrrpInterface::addr ( ) const [pure virtual]

Obtain the primary IP address of the interface.

This is the first one configured.

virtual void VrrpInterface::delete_mac ( const Mac & mac ) [pure virtual]

Delete a MAC address from this interface.

Parameters:

mac	MAC address to delete from this interface.

virtual bool VrrpInterface::own ( const IPv4 & addr ) [pure virtual]

Determines whether the router owns an IP address.

If the router has this IP address configured as the real IP address of one of its interfaces, then it owns it, else it does not.

Parameters:

addr	the IP address to check for.

virtual bool VrrpInterface::ready ( ) const [pure virtual]

Check whether the network interface is up.

virtual void VrrpInterface::send	(	const Mac &	src,
		const Mac &	dst,
		uint32_t	ether,
		const PAYLOAD &	payload
	)		`[pure virtual]`

Transmits a L2 packet.

Parameters:

src	the source MAC address.
dst	the destination MAC address.
ether	the ethernet type.
payload	the data following the MAC header.
