3.1.4.8 RRasAdminPortReset (Opnum 7)

The RRasAdminPortReset function performs no action and always returns ERROR_SUCCESS if the access validation succeeds.

 DWORD RRasAdminPortReset(
   [in] DIM_HANDLE hDimServer,
   [in] DWORD hPort
 );

hDimServer: A handle to the RRASM server where the call is executed, see section 3.1.3.

hPort: This is of type DWORD and SHOULD be set to the particular port identifier for which the port information is required. Obtain this handle by calling RRasAdminPortEnum (section 3.1.4.5). This parameter is not used. Because RRASM server does not maintain port handle information, the validation of this handle SHOULD be done by the RRAS server implementation. 

Return Values: A 32-bit, unsigned integer value that indicates return status. A return value of ERROR_SUCCESS (0x00000000) indicates that the operation was completed successfully; otherwise it contains an error code, as specified in [MS-ERREF] or in section 2.2.4. All values not in the following table MUST be treated the same by the RRASM client.

Return value/code	Description
ERROR_SUCCESS 0x00000000	The call was successful.
ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED 0x00000005	The calling application does not have sufficient privileges.

The opnum field value for this method is 7.

When processing this call, the RRASM server MUST do the following:

• Validate, as specified in section 2.1.1.1, whether this method was called by a client that has access to the method. If the client does not have access, then return error ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED (0x00000005).

• If RouterType is ROUTER_TYPE_LAN, return an error other than those in the preceding table.

• Call the abstract interface Invoke DIMSVC method specifying the operation and the parameters to enable RRAS server to perform the required management task.

• Return any error that the RRAS server returns while processing this request. Otherwise return ERROR_SUCCESS (0x00000000).

No exceptions are thrown beyond those thrown by the underlying RPC protocol [MS-RPCE].
