NDIS_SWITCH_PORT_FEATURE_STATUS_PARAMETERS structure (ntddndis.h)

The NDIS_SWITCH_PORT_FEATURE_STATUS_PARAMETERS structure specifies the parameters for the custom status information of a Hyper-V extensible switch port. This information is known as feature status information. The format of this information is defined by the independent software vendor (ISV).

The status information is specified through an NDIS_SWITCH_PORT_FEATURE_STATUS_CUSTOM structure and is returned through an OID method request of OID_SWITCH_PORT_FEATURE_STATUS_QUERY.

Syntax

typedef struct _NDIS_SWITCH_PORT_FEATURE_STATUS_PARAMETERS {
  NDIS_OBJECT_HEADER                       Header;
  ULONG                                    Flags;
  NDIS_SWITCH_PORT_ID                      PortId;
  NDIS_SWITCH_PORT_FEATURE_STATUS_TYPE     FeatureStatusType;
  NDIS_SWITCH_OBJECT_ID                    FeatureStatusId;
  NDIS_SWITCH_OBJECT_VERSION               FeatureStatusVersion;
  NDIS_SWITCH_OBJECT_SERIALIZATION_VERSION SerializationVersion;
  NDIS_SWITCH_OBJECT_INSTANCE_ID           FeatureStatusInstanceId;
  ULONG                                    FeatureStatusBufferLength;
  ULONG                                    FeatureStatusBufferOffset;
  ULONG                                    Reserved;
} NDIS_SWITCH_PORT_FEATURE_STATUS_PARAMETERS, *PNDIS_SWITCH_PORT_FEATURE_STATUS_PARAMETERS;

Members

Header

The type, revision, and size of the NDIS_SWITCH_PORT_FEATURE_STATUS_PARAMETERS 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_PORT_FEATURE_STATUS_PARAMETERS structure, the Revision member of Header must be set to the following value:

NDIS_SWITCH_PORT_FEATURE_STATUS_PARAMETERS_REVISION_1

Original version for NDIS 6.30 and later.

Set the Size member to NDIS_SIZEOF_NDIS_SWITCH_PORT_FEATURE_STATUS_PARAMETERS_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 specifies the numeric identifier for an extensible switch port. This value uniquely identifies the port on the extensible switch for which feature status information is to be returned.

FeatureStatusType

An NDIS_SWITCH_PORT_FEATURE_STATUS_TYPE enumeration value that specifies the type of the status information for a custom extensible switch port profile property.

Note  Starting with NDIS 6.30, this member must be set to NdisSwitchPortPropertyTypeCustom.

 

FeatureStatusId

An NDIS_SWITCH_OBJECT_ID value that identifies the profile property for the extensible switch port.

FeatureStatusVersion

An NDIS_SWITCH_OBJECT_VERSION value that identifies the version of the profile property for the extensible switch port.

SerializationVersion

An NDIS_SWITCH_OBJECT_SERIALIZATION_VERSION value that identifies the format version of the serialized port property data. This data is serialized for access by the extension from the Managed Object Format (MOF) file that defined the property.

Note  For Windows Server 2012, the SerializationVersion member must be set to NDIS_SWITCH_OBJECT_SERIALIZATION_VERSION_1.

 

FeatureStatusInstanceId

An NDIS_SWITCH_OBJECT_INSTANCE_ID value that identifies the instance of the feature status information for the extensible switch port.

FeatureStatusBufferLength

A ULONG value that specifies the size, in bytes, of the feature status buffer.

FeatureStatusBufferOffset

A ULONG value that specifies the offset, in bytes, to the feature status buffer that follows the NDIS_SWITCH_PORT_FEATURE_STATUS_PARAMETERS structure. The feature status buffer contains an NDIS_SWITCH_PORT_FEATURE_STATUS_CUSTOM structure.

The offset is measured from the start of the NDIS_SWITCH_PORT_FEATURE_STATUS_PARAMETERS structure up to the beginning of the NDIS_SWITCH_PORT_FEATURE_STATUS_CUSTOM structure.

Reserved

Reserved for future use.

Remarks

The NDIS_SWITCH_PORT_FEATURE_STATUS_PARAMETERS structure is used in OID method requests of OID_SWITCH_PORT_FEATURE_STATUS_QUERY. This OID request returns the following structures in the information buffer that is associated with the OID request:

• An NDIS_SWITCH_PORT_FEATURE_STATUS_PARAMETERS structure that specifies the parameters for a custom property of an extensible switch port for which status information is to be returned. The switch extension populates the FeatureStatusVersion member of the structure to reflect the version of the custom status being returned in the NDIS_SWITCH_FEATURE_STATUS_CUSTOM buffer. The Hyper-v Extensible switch populates all other members when issuing the query OID.
• An NDIS_SWITCH_PORT_FEATURE_STATUS_CUSTOM structure that contains the status information for the extensible switch port property. The switch extension populates the FeatureStatusCustomBufferLength member of the structure to reflect the size of the custom status being returned. The Hyper-v Extensible switch populates all other members when issuing the query OID.
