SIOCADDMULTI is how you join an IP level multicast group (IP Class D
addresses 224.0.0.0-239.255.255).
For lower layer traffic, you'll have to use BPF or something like it. Since
your host likely won't have that Ethernet
multicast address in its NIC filter, you'll also want to put the interface
in promiscuous mode.
Also, the 3rd argument for SIOCADDMULTI ioctl's is either an ip_mreq or
ip_mreqn, not an ifreq.

Im trying to grab some ethernet multicasts. And the ioctl that should do
that is SIOCADDMULTI.
But I can't get it to work. And I have not found any who use that from
userlevel so
this is my guess who to do it. (I don't work but dont gives any error
message)
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <net/if.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <sys/un.h>
int main()
{
int i,res,sock,from_len;
struct sockaddr_in eb_addr,from_addr;
char databuf[1500];
struct ifreq req;
if((sock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0)) == -1)
{
printf("%s",strerror(errno));
exit(1);
}
eb_addr.sin_family = AF_INET;
/* eb_addr.sin_family = AF_UNSPEC; */
eb_addr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("0.0.0.0");
eb_addr.sin_port = htons(4711);
for (i = 0; i < 8; ++i)
eb_addr.sin_zero[i] = 0;
if(bind(sock,(struct sockaddr*) &eb_addr, sizeof(struct sockaddr_in))
== -1)
{
printf("Unable to bind the socket\n");
exit(1);
}
strcpy(req.ifr_name,"eth0");
req.ifr_ifru.ifru_addr.sa_data[0] = 0x01;
req.ifr_ifru.ifru_addr.sa_data[1] = 0x80;
req.ifr_ifru.ifru_addr.sa_data[2] = 0xc2;
req.ifr_ifru.ifru_addr.sa_data[3] = 0x00;
req.ifr_ifru.ifru_addr.sa_data[4] = 0x00;
req.ifr_ifru.ifru_addr.sa_data[5] = 0x00;
/* req.ifr_flags = IFF_ALLMULTI; | IFF_PROMISC; */
res = ioctl(sock,SIOCADDMULTI,&req);
if(res == -1)
{
printf("%s",strerror(errno));
exit(1);
}
while (1)
{
printf("enter recvfrom\n");
res = recvfrom(sock, databuf, sizeof(databuf), 0,(struct
sockaddr*) &from_addr, &from_len);
printf("Received %d bytes\n", res );
}
return 0;
}
This on a 2.4.9 kernel on SMP P2. Im trying to grab some 802 bridge
packets and I see them
with tcpdump but that is using a other interface. (BPF or what ever) Any
ideas whats wrong ?
