Configure Interface

[nagarjuna]

Hi,
In linux to configure specific parameters for a physical interface we have IFF_PROMISC to receive all packets.
I am using QNX 6.3.2, How can I achive this ? Please help.

I don't think it can be changed at run time under 6.3.2, it's a network driver option.

Hi Mario,

Thanks for your reply. I am totally new to QNX. What exactly mean, we cant change at run time? Or can I know what option we have in QNX to configure interface to receive all packets?

Start network driver with "promiscuous" option if it present in 6.3.2.
In runtime only by restarting net driver.

Promiscuous mode is set by a command line parameter.
Once you start the driver you can only change it by stopping the driver and restarting it.
