NAME

Net::Packet::DescL2 - object for a link layer (layer 2) descriptor

SYNOPSIS

   require Net::Packet::DescL2;

   # Usually, you use it to send ARP frames, that is crafted from ETH layer
   my $d2 = Net::Packet::DescL2->new(
      dev => 'eth0',
   );

   $d2->send($rawStringToNetwork);

DESCRIPTION

See also Net::Packet::Desc for other attributes and methods.

METHODS

new

Create the object, using default $Env object values for dev, ip, ip6 and mac (see Net::Packet::Env). When the object is created, the $Env global object has its desc attributes set to it. You can avoid this behaviour by setting noDescAutoSet in $Env object (see Net::Packet::Env).

Default values for attributes:

dev: $Env->dev

ip: $Env->ip

ip6: $Env->ip6

mac: $Env->mac
