ixgbe_set_mac_anti_spoofing(9)

💅 ixgbe_set_mac_anti_spoofing 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for ixgbe_set_mac_anti_spoofing(9) — yes the whole name, every time, we don't abbreviate here ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ixgbe_set_mac_anti_spoofing — literally just Enable/Disable MAC anti-spoofing. that's the whole vibe. flip it on, flip it off, no in-between 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void ixgbe_set_mac_anti_spoofing (struct ixgbe_hw *hw , bool enable ,
int vf );

note the void bestie — this function does not hand you anything back. no return value, no little treat, she just does the thing and leaves 😌

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — pointer to hardware structure. like, the actual hardware struct, the main character of the whole file 🫶
• enable — enable or disable switch for MAC anti-spoofing. true-ish energy = on, off = off, you get it 💫
• vf — Virtual Function pool — the VF Pool you're setting MAC anti-spoofing for. specifying which pool, not just "a pool" 👑

first up, the kernel file this lives in — go read her, she's iconic:

and then. okay. deep breath. the whole friend group, in order, no cap 🌈

shoutout especially to ixgbe_set_vlan_anti_spoofing(9) btw — she's this function's sibling, same anti-spoofing department, different lane 🧚 and yes prot_autoc_read_generic(9) and prot_autoc_write_generic(9) are in there without the ixgbe_ prefix, that's not a typo, that's just how they're filed 💀

okay that's the whole page, you ate it, you understood it, you're basically an ixgbe girlie now 👑

kisses, this was served from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... back in October 2026, and the page itself is still signed ixgbe_set_mac_anti_spoofing(9) — she's consistent, she's timeless, periodt 💜
