Enum HardwareAddress 

pub enum HardwareAddress {
    Ethernet(EthernetAddress),
    Ip,
    Ieee802154(Ieee802154Address),
}

A hardware (link-layer) address.

Which variants exist depends on the enabled medium-* features. In a build that only drives Medium::Ip interfaces this type has a single variant and takes up no space.

Variants

Ethernet(EthernetAddress)

An Ethernet (MAC) address. Requires the medium-ethernet feature.

Ip

No address, for interfaces that send and receive bare IP packets. Requires the medium-ip feature.

Ieee802154(Ieee802154Address)

An IEEE 802.15.4 address. Requires the medium-ieee802154 feature.

Implementations

impl HardwareAddress

pub const fn medium(&self) -> Medium

The medium this kind of address belongs to.

pub const fn as_bytes(&self) -> &[u8]

The address as bytes. Empty for Ip.

pub fn is_unicast(&self) -> bool

Query whether the address is an unicast address.

false for Ip.

pub fn is_broadcast(&self) -> bool

Query whether the address is the broadcast address of its medium.

false for Ip.

pub fn as_eui_64(&self) -> Option<[u8; 8]>

Convert the address to a modified EUI-64 interface identifier.

None for Ip, and for a short or absent 802.15.4 address.

pub const fn ieee802154(&self) -> Option<Ieee802154Address>

The IEEE 802.15.4 address, or None if this is not one.

pub const fn ethernet(&self) -> Option<EthernetAddress>

The Ethernet address, or None if this is not one.

pub fn to_driver(&self) -> Option<HardwareAddress>

Convert to the address type drivers report, crate::driver::HardwareAddress.

Returns None for an IEEE 802.15.4 address that is not an extended address: drivers report extended addresses only.

pub fn from_driver(addr: HardwareAddress) -> Option<Self>

Convert from the address type drivers report, crate::driver::HardwareAddress.

Returns None if the build does not have the medium-* feature the address kind belongs to.
