Subject: VAXELN Datagram Service
I am doing a bit of VAXELN programming and I am trying to get the Datagram
Service to only read packets of a certain EtherType, but unless I use
promiscuous mode, nothing is read. Here is the relevant code:
form.format = ELN$K_NI_PTT;
form.mux.ptt = 0x0360;
mode = 0;
pad = 0;
eln$ni_connect(&status, &portalId,
config.clist.list[i].control_port,
&dispatchPort, &form, NULL, &mode, NULL,
NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, &pad);
Anyone know why this might not return any packets at all when I wait on
the
port?
My mind cleared overnight, and I realised what the problem is. To read the
packets I am interested in (DECnet), I need to tell the adapter the special
DECnet addresses and configure those as multicast addresses.
Problem solved.
Regards
Rob
