otThreadRegisterNeighborTableCallback#

void otThreadRegisterNeighborTableCallback (otInstance * aInstance, otNeighborTableCallback aCallback)

Registers a neighbor table callback function.

Parameters
[in]aInstance

A pointer to an OpenThread instance.

[in]aCallback

A pointer to callback handler function.

The provided callback (if non-NULL) will be invoked when there is a change in the neighbor table (e.g., a child or a router neighbor entry is being added/removed or an existing child's mode is changed).

Subsequent calls to this method will overwrite the previous callback. Note that this callback in invoked while the neighbor/child table is being updated and always before the otStateChangedCallback.

Parameters
[in]aInstance

A pointer to an OpenThread instance.

[in]aEnabled

Parameters
[in]aInstance

A pointer to an OpenThread instance.

[in]aEnabled

otThreadSetTmfOriginFilterEnabled#

void otThreadSetTmfOriginFilterEnabled (otInstance * aInstance, bool aEnabled)

Enables or disables the filter to drop TMF UDP messages from untrusted origin.

Parameters
[in]aInstance

A pointer to an OpenThread instance.

[in]aEnabled

TRUE to enable filter, FALSE otherwise.

TMF messages are only trusted when they originate from a trusted source, such as the Thread interface. In special cases, such as when a device uses platform UDP socket to send TMF messages, they will be dropped due to untrusted origin. This filter is enabled by default.

When this filter is disabled, UDP messages sent to the TMF port that originate from untrusted origin (such as host, CLI or an external IPv6 node) will be allowed.

Note

  • This API requires OPENTHREAD_CONFIG_REFERENCE_DEVICE_ENABLE and is only used by Thread Test Harness to test network behavior by sending special TMF messages from the CLI on a POSIX host.


Definition at line 871 of file include/openthread/thread_ftd.h

otThreadIsTmfOriginFilterEnabled#

bool otThreadIsTmfOriginFilterEnabled (otInstance * aInstance)

Indicates whether the filter that drops TMF UDP messages from untrusted origin is enabled or not.

Parameters
N/AaInstance

This is intended for testing only and available when OPENTHREAD_CONFIG_REFERENCE_DEVICE_ENABLE config is enabled.
