Subject: ioctl interface for ethernet switch  configuration

Hi All

I am implementing a network driver for a 3 port Ethernet switch. We have sorted out the data path for the switch driver. Additionally being a switch module, there are lot other configuration options to program the ALE entries and configure forwarding rules. We are considering implementing these through driver ioctl interface. Are there existing drivers that implement these? Is there a standard interface to handle such a requirement?
