ixgbe_set_vl...nti_spoofing(9)

💅 NAME 💅

ixgbe_set_vlan_anti_spoofing — okay so this one turns VLAN anti-spoofing on or off, bestie. That's the whole vibe.

This is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? It's giving "small function, big responsibilities." 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

That's it. Three little params. No cap. 🦋

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• hw — pointer to the hardware structure 💖 like, this is your actual NIC's whole deal. Hand it over and the function knows what it's working with.
• enable — enable or disable switch for VLAN anti-spoofing ✨ a bool, so it's literally just "turn it on" or "turn it off." Binary queen behavior.
• vf — Virtual Function pool — the VF Pool to set VLAN anti-spoofing for 🌈 so you're not doing this to the whole card, you're doing it to one specific VF pool. Targeted. Iconic. 💅
