Member Function Documentation

◆ fromText()

HWAddr isc::dhcp::HWAddr::fromText ( const std::string & text,
const uint16_t htype = HTYPE_ETHER )
static

Creates instance of the hardware address from textual format.

This function parses HW address specified as text and creates the corresponding HWAddr instance. The hexadecimal digits representing individual bytes of the hardware address should be separated with colons. Typically, two digits per byte are used. However, this function allows for 1 digit per HW address byte. In this case, the digit is prepended with '0' during conversion to binary value.

This function can be used to perform a reverse operation to the HWAddr::toText(false).

The instance created by this function sets HTYPE_ETHER as a hardware type.

Parameters
textHW address in the textual format.
htypeHardware type.
Returns
Instance of the HW address created from text.

+ Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ operator!=()

bool isc::dhcp::HWAddr::operator!= ( const HWAddr & other) const

Compares two hardware addresses for inequality.

Definition at line 80 of file hwaddr.cc.

◆ operator==()

bool isc::dhcp::HWAddr::operator== ( const HWAddr & other) const

Compares two hardware addresses for equality.

Definition at line 75 of file hwaddr.cc.

References htype_, and hwaddr_.

◆ toText()

std::string isc::dhcp::HWAddr::toText ( bool include_htype = true) const

Returns textual representation of a hardware address (e.g.

00:01:02:03:04:05)

Parameters
include_htypeBoolean value which controls whether the hardware type is included in the returned string (true), or not (false).
Returns
Hardware address in the textual format.

Member Data Documentation

◆ ETHERNET_HWADDR_LEN

const size_t isc::dhcp::HWAddr::ETHERNET_HWADDR_LEN = 6
static

Size of an ethernet hardware address.

Definition at line 24 of file hwaddr.h.

Referenced by isc::dhcp::decodeEthernetHeader(), and isc::dhcp::writeEthernetHeader().

◆ htype_

uint16_t isc::dhcp::HWAddr::htype_

Hardware type.

Note
It used to be uint8_t as used in DHCPv4. However, since we're expanding MAC addresses support to DHCPv6 that uses hw_type as 16 bits, we need to be able to store that wider format.

Definition at line 105 of file hwaddr.h.

◆ hwaddr_

std::vector<uint8_t> isc::dhcp::HWAddr::hwaddr_

◆ MAX_HWADDR_LEN

const size_t isc::dhcp::HWAddr::MAX_HWADDR_LEN = 20
static

Maximum size of a hardware address.

Definition at line 27 of file hwaddr.h.

Referenced by HWAddr(), HWAddr(), isc::dhcp::Host::getIdentifierMaxLength(), and isc::dhcp::Pkt6::getMACFromRemoteIdRelayOption().

◆ source_

uint32_t isc::dhcp::HWAddr::source_

Hardware address source.

This variable specifies how the hardware address was obtained.

Todo
This is a stub implementation. Proper implementation will move constants from Pkt::HWADDR_SOURCE_* here. Currently always initialized to zero.
