EtherRewrite
rewrite source and destination Ethernet address
SYNOPSIS§
EtherRewrite(SRC, DST)
Batching: Batching natively supported
Ports: 1 input, 1 output
Processing: agnostic
DESCRIPTION§
Rewrite the source and the destination address in the Ethernet header. The ETHERTYPE is left untouched.
EXAMPLES§
Ensure that source address of all packets passing by is 1\:1\:1\:1\:1:1, and the destination address is 2\:2\:2\:2\:2\:2:
EtherRewrite(1:1:1:1:1:1, 2:2:2:2:2:2)
NOTES§
This element is useful if there is only one possible nexthop on a given link (such as for a network-layer transparent firewall), meaning that source and destination ethernet address will always be the same for a given output.
ELEMENT HANDLERS§
- src (read/write) — Return or set the SRC parameter.
- dst (read/write) — Return or set the DST parameter.
