how to send ethernet layer 2 frame ?

[clounacado]

Hello,

I need to send Ethernet O.S.I Layer 2 frames using Labview 2014.

The frame will be like that :

source MAC address (6 bytes) + destination MAC address (6 bytes) + protocole (2 bytes) + datas (54 bytes)

The only functions I have found are TCP and UDP (layer 3). Is there any function related to layer 2?

How can I send this kind of frame?

Thanks in advance for your help

As far as I know, I don't think this is possible - LabVIEW just communicates with the OS which then communicates with the ethernet device and therefore you only have access to the Level 4 transport layer (TCP/UDP).

The only way I think to do this would be to create the create the data link layer yourself (e.g. using digital I/O). I'd imagine that would be a lot of work though.
