Hi guys.
I'm writing a small program to read raw ethernet frames out of netgraph
to capture Spannign Tree packets from the switch.
Is it possible to pick up STP frames without putting the interface in
promiscuous mode ?
If you don't put it in promiscuous mode, then you will only see broadcast
packets and packets aimed at you specifically.
If that's enough then there is nothing in netgraph that insists that
you turn on promiscuous mode.
You should probably look at the ng_etf node too BTW.
Thanx
Paul
