HI,
I have Linux machine acting as a router and Zebra Daemon is running
on that. Currently
RIP is configured which is receiving routes from another gateway. The
routes are updated in FIB
tables.
I want to read This FIB table , which is declared as a
struct fib_table *main_table .
I am able to access and read this table. i want to read certain
information from this FIB table and want
to build my own forwarding table. from this table i am reading NetID,
Netmask, and IP address of Next Hop gateway.
IP address of Next Hope gateway is available in fib_nh->nh_gw. Apart from
this i also want the Mac address of Next Hope gateway. so how can i
get the MAC address for Next Hop gateway ??
I am able to get the pointer to Next hop device that is ,
#define fib_dev fib_nh[0].nh_dev
in net_device structure definition ,
#ifdef CONFIG_NET_FASTROUTE
#define NETDEV_FASTROUTE_HMASK 0xF
/* Semi-private data. Keep it at the end of device struct. */
rwlock_t fastpath_lock;
struct dst_entry *fastpath[NETDEV_FASTROUTE_HMASK+1];
#endif
There is a dst_entry in which the hh_cache * is stored .
But the struct dst_entry *fastpath[NETDEV_FASTROUTE_HMASK+1]; is null
.
even CONFIG_NET_FASTROUTE is configured.
So what could be the reason for that??
or is there any other way to get the MAC address for Next Hop gateway ??
I know one way is to Do
ARP. But doing ARP would slow down the process.
Any help or link on this is Appreciated.
Cheers,
Mahesh Pujara
