.. _ethernet_mgmt_interface: Ethernet Management ################### .. contents:: :local: :depth: 2 Overview ******** Ethernet management API provides functions to manage the Ethernet network interface low level status. The caller of these functions can: * raise ``carrier ON`` or ``carrier OFF`` management events * raise ``VLAN enabled`` or ``VLAN disabled`` management events Typically the ``carrier OFF`` event would be generated by the Ethernet device driver when it notices that the Ethernet cable is disconnected. The ``carrier ON`` event would be generated if the Ethernet device driver notices that the Ethernet cable is re-connected. Currently the VLAN events are generated by the Ethernet L2 layer when a specific VLAN tag is either enabled or disabled. The user application can monitor these events if it needs to act when the corresponding status changes. API Reference ************* .. doxygengroup:: ethernet_mgmt
