ether:// face creation not working

[malldisaesar]

nfdc face create ether://[98:28:A6:3B:86:02] local dev://ens3

• nfdc returns Error 406 when creating face: Unsupported scheme ether

• YaNFD log contains WARN[3207] [FaceMgmt] Unable to create ether face with URI ether://[98:28:A6:3B:86:02]: Unsupported scheme ether://[]

The current version of YaNFD only supports creating TCP and UDP faces after startup.
You may use the yanfd.toml file to let YaNFD create the Ethernet face when starting up.
I don't think I can add this feature because I lack devices to test.
People who are able to do so are welcome to submit Pull Requests.

Can you tell me how to make face ether from yanfd.toml ?

[zjkmxy]

YaNFD supports multicast Ethernet face.
Set faces.ethernet.enabled to be true, put the multicast address, and YaNFD will create a face on every interface using that address.
There is no need to specify a host's MAC address or Ethernet interface.

It will make looping packet when more than 2 node or not? Because on nfd forwarder it make looping when i'm add route to multicast id

I don't think it will. There is Interest aggregation preventing it.
