NDIS_SWITCH_NIC_SAVE_STATE structure (ntddndis.h)

  • Article

The NDIS_SWITCH_NIC_SAVE_STATE structure specifies the run-time state information for a Hyper-V extensible switch port. The extensible switch extension uses this structure to save or restore run-time port information.

Syntax

typedef struct _NDIS_SWITCH_NIC_SAVE_STATE {
  NDIS_OBJECT_HEADER                 Header;
  ULONG                              Flags;
  NDIS_SWITCH_PORT_ID                PortId;
  NDIS_SWITCH_NIC_INDEX              NicIndex;
  GUID                               ExtensionId;
  NDIS_SWITCH_EXTENSION_FRIENDLYNAME ExtensionFriendlyName;
  GUID                               FeatureClassId;
  USHORT                             SaveDataSize;
  USHORT                             SaveDataOffset;
  ULONG                              SaveDataSizeOverflow;
} NDIS_SWITCH_NIC_SAVE_STATE, *PNDIS_SWITCH_NIC_SAVE_STATE;

Members

Header

The type, revision, and size of the NDIS_SWITCH_NIC_SAVE_STATE structure. This member is formatted as an NDIS_OBJECT_HEADER structure.

The Type member of Header must be set to NDIS_OBJECT_TYPE_DEFAULT. To specify the version of the NDIS_SWITCH_NIC_SAVE_STATE structure, the Revision member of Header must be set to the following value:

NDIS_SWITCH_NIC_SAVE_STATE_REVISION_1

Original version for NDIS 6.30 and later.

Set the Size member to NDIS_SIZEOF_NDIS_SWITCH_NIC_SAVE_STATE_REVISION_1.

Flags

A ULONG value that contains a bitwise OR of flags. This member is reserved for NDIS.

PortId

An NDIS_SWITCH_PORT_ID value that contains the unique identifier of the extensible switch port.

NicIndex

An NDIS_SWITCH_NIC_INDEX value that contains the Nic Index for the network adapter. This value will always be 0. For more information, see Network Adapter Index Values.

ExtensionId

A GUID value that identifies the extensible switch extension.

ExtensionFriendlyName

An NDIS_SWITCH_EXTENSION_FRIENDLYNAME value that specifies the user-friendly description of the extensible switch extension.

FeatureClassId

A GUID value that contains the identifier of the feature class related to the saved data. A feature class identifier is defined by the extension to uniquely identify components of its run-time data.

Note  This member is optional. The extensible switch extension must set this member to 0 if the saved data has no feature class.
 

SaveDataSize

A USHORT value that specified the size, in bytes, of the data that is contained in the SaveData member.

Note  This value must be less than or equal to NDIS_SWITCH_NIC_SAVE_STATE_MAX_DATA_SIZE.
 

SaveDataOffset

A USHORT value that contains the offset from the start of the structure to the run-time state information being saved or restored.

SaveDataSizeOverflow

Remarks

The NDIS_SWITCH_NIC_SAVE_STATE structure is used in the following OID requests:

Note  The NDIS_SWITCH_EXTENSION_FRIENDLYNAME data type is type-defined by the IF_COUNTED_STRING structure. A string that is defined by this structure does not have to be null-terminated. However, the length of the string must be set in the Length member of this structure. If the string is null-terminated, the Length member must not include the terminating null character.
