<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana'>The MUX Intermediate
Miniport (IM) driver is an NDIS 5 driver that demonstrates the operation of an
<EFBFBD>N<span class=GramE>:1</span><EFBFBD> MUX driver, i.e. one which creates multiple
virtual network devices on top of a single lower adapter. Protocols bind to
these virtual adapters as if they are real adapters. Examples of </span><st1:place><st1:PlaceName><span

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana'>Miniport</span></st1:PlaceType></st1:place><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana'> drivers that can use this
framework are Virtual LAN (VLAN) drivers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana'>This sample implements
IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging, which is enabled by changing the default VLAN ID to a
non-zero valid value (see <20>Configuring VLANs<4E> below).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><b><span style='mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana'>Operation<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana'>The driver binds to
Ethernet (NdisMedium802_3) adapters as a protocol, and exposes one or more
virtual Ethernet devices over each lower adapter, based on its configuration.
The term <20>VELAN<41> is used to denote a Virtual Ethernet LAN adapter implemented
by this driver.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana'>When it binds to a lower
adapter, MUX reads the standard <20>UpperBind<6E> key to obtain a list of VELANs
configured over this adapter. For each such VELAN, it calls <span class=GramE>NdisIMInitializeDeviceInstanceEx(</span>)
to instantiate the NDIS miniport for the VELAN. NDIS then calls the driver<65>s
MiniportInitialize (<i>MPInitialize</i>) routine to start the VELAN miniport.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana'>The MUX driver supports
configuring the MAC address for each VELAN miniport using the standard
<EFBFBD>NetworkAddress<EFBFBD> key that it reads from its MiniportInitialize routine. If this
is not configured, it computes a <20>locally significant<6E> MAC address for the
VELAN using the MAC address of the lower adapter. The MUX driver sets its lower
adapter to promiscuous mode in order to be able to receive frames directed to
any of the VELAN MAC addresses. <span class=GramE>However it does implement
packet-filtering (and multicast address filtering) logic for all its VELAN
miniports so that it only passes up relevant frames on each VELAN.</span> This
aspect of the driver may be modified if, for example, your driver design uses
the same MAC address as that of the lower adapter on all VELANs. With such a
modification, it is not required to set the lower adapter to promiscuous mode
and incur the costs of receiving all packets on the network.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana'>It supports dynamic
addition and deletion of VELANs in conjunction with <span class=GramE>its</span>
notify object (related sample). If a VELAN is deleted, the virtual device
corresponding to the VELAN is stopped and removed, which in turn results in
NDIS halting the miniport instance for the VELAN (see <i>MPHalt</i>). If a
VELAN is added, NDIS sends a global reconfiguration event to the protocol edge
of this driver. The handler function for this event, PtPNPHandler, goes through
all lower adapters to see if any new VELANs have been added, i.e. if any of the
<EFBFBD>UpperBind<EFBFBD> keys have been modified.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana'>Since the driver
implements a virtual device, it does not simply pass through most NDIS
queries/sets. It keeps its own device view that is reflected in its responses
to queries/sets. However it does pass through queries/sets for certain OIDs
that are best handled by the lower adapter driver. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana'>The driver supports Power
Management in the sense that it allows Wake-On-LAN and related functionality,
if supported by the lower adapter, to continue to function. It does so by
appropriately forwarding OID_PNP_XXX queries/sets to the lower adapter. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><b style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'><span style='font-family:Verdana'>IEEE
802.1Q VLAN Operation<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana'>The driver supports
configuring a VLAN ID on each VELAN. It then inserts a tag header containing
this VLAN ID on all outgoing frames. For incoming frames that contain a tag
header, it verifies that a matching VLAN ID is present before indicating it up
to protocols. It removes the tag header, if present, from all indicated frames.
In all cases, received frames that do not contain tag headers are always handed
up to protocols.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana'>With the default
configured VLAN ID of zero, the driver does not insert tag header information
on sent packets, except for sent packets that contain non-zero Ieee8021QInfo
per-packet information, for which the driver does insert corresponding tag
headers. Receive-side filtering on VLAN ID is enabled only with a non-zero
configured VLAN ID, in which case only received frames containing a matching
VLAN ID are passed up. With the default configured VLAN ID of zero, the driver
does not check the VLAN ID on received frames.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h3><span style='font-family:Verdana'>BUILDING THE SAMPLE<o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana'>Run the <b>build</b>

<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana'>MUX is installed as a

<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana'>Click <b>OK</b> or <span
class=GramE><b>Yes</b></span> each time the system prompts with a warning
regarding installation of unsigned files. This is necessary because binaries
generated via the DDK build environment are not signed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana'>Two .INF files are needed
rather than one because MUX is installed both as a protocol and a miniport.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
