+
+Uevents
+-------
+
+To generate the events the device must be assigned a role of either
+a primary or a secondary Bridge Port. For more information, see
+"z/VM Connectivity, SC24-6174".
+
+When run on an OSA or HiperSockets Bridge Capable Port hardware, and the state
+of some configured Bridge Port device on the channel changes, a udev
+event with ACTION=CHANGE is emitted on behalf of the corresponding
+ccwgroup device. The event has the following attributes:
+
+BRIDGEPORT=statechange
+ indicates that the Bridge Port device changed
+ its state.
+
+ROLE={primary|secondary|none}
+ the role assigned to the port.
+
+STATE={active|standby|inactive}
+ the newly assumed state of the port.
+
+When run on HiperSockets Bridge Capable Port hardware with host address
+notifications enabled, a udev event with ACTION=CHANGE is emitted.
+It is emitted on behalf of the corresponding ccwgroup device when a host
+or a VLAN is registered or unregistered on the network served by the device.
+The event has the following attributes:
+
+BRIDGEDHOST={reset|register|deregister|abort}
+ host address
+ notifications are started afresh, a new host or VLAN is registered or
+ deregistered on the Bridge Port HiperSockets channel, or address
+ notifications are aborted.
+
+VLAN=numeric-vlan-id
+ VLAN ID on which the event occurred. Not included
+ if no VLAN is involved in the event.
+
+MAC=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
+ MAC address of the host that is being registered
+ or deregistered from the HiperSockets channel. Not reported if the
+ event reports the creation or destruction of a VLAN.
+
+NTOK_BUSID=x.y.zzzz
+ device bus ID (CSSID, SSID and device number).
+
+NTOK_IID=xx
+ device IID.
+
+NTOK_CHPID=xx
+ device CHPID.
+
+NTOK_CHID=xxxx
+ device channel ID.
+
+Note that the `NTOK_*` attributes refer to devices other than the one
+connected to the system on which the OS is running.
