DESCRIPTION
The
utility manipulates the address mapping table
used by the Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP).
-a
Dump the currently existing NDP entries.
The following information will be printed:
Neighbor
IPv6 address of the neighbor.
Linklayer Address
Linklayer address of the neighbor.
It could be
``(incomplete)
''
when the address is not available.
Netif
Network interface associated with the neighbor cache entry.
Expire
The time until expiry of the entry.
The entry could become
``permanent
''
in which case it will never expire.
S
State of the neighbor cache entry, as a single letter:
N
Nostate
W
Waitdelete
I
Incomplete
R
Reachable
S
Stale
D
Delay
P
Probe
?
Unknown state (should never happen).
Flags
Flags on the neighbor cache entry, in a single letter.
They are: Router, proxy neighbor advertisement
(``p''
)
The field could be followed by a decimal number,
which means the number of NS probes the node has sent during the current state.
-A wait
Repeat
-a
(dump NDP entries)
every
wait
seconds.
-c
Erase all the NDP entries.
-d
Delete specified NDP entry.
-f
Parse the file specified by
filename
-H
Harmonize consistency between the routing table and the default router
list; install the top entry of the list into the kernel routing table.
-I
Shows the default interface used as the default route when
there is no default router.
-I interface
Specifies the default interface used as the default route when
there is no default router.
The
interface
will be used as the default.
-I delete
The current default interface will be deleted from the kernel.
-i interface [expressions ...
]
View ND information for the specified interface.
If additional arguments
expressions
are given,
sets or clears the flags or variables for the interface as specified in
the expression.
Each expression should be separated by white spaces or tab characters.
Possible expressions are as follows.
Some of the expressions can begin with the
special character
`-'
,
which means the flag specified in the expression should be cleared.
Note that you need
--
before
-foo
in this case.
nud
Turn on or off NUD (Neighbor Unreachability Detection) on the
interface.
NUD is usually turned on by default.
accept_rtadv
Specify whether or not to accept Router Advertisement messages
received on the
interface
Note that the kernel does not accept Router Advertisement messages
unless the
net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv
variable is non-0, even if the flag is on.
This flag is set to 1 by default.
prefer_source
Prefer addresses on the
interface
as candidates of the source address for outgoing packets.
The default value of this flag is off.
For more details about the entire algorithm of source address
selection, see the
IMPLEMENTATION
file supplied with the KAME kit.
disabled
Disable IPv6 operation on the interface.
When disabled, the interface discards any IPv6 packets
received on or being sent to the interface.
In the sending case, an error of ENETDOWN will be returned to the
application.
This flag is typically set automatically in the kernel as a result of
a certain failure of Duplicate Address Detection.
While the flag can be set or cleared by hand with the
command, it is not generally advisable to modify this flag manually.
basereachable = (number
)
Specify the BaseReachbleTimer on the interface in millisecond.
retrans = (number
)
Specify the RetransTimer on the interface in millisecond.
curhlim = (number
)
Specify the Cur Hop Limit on the interface.
-n
Do not try to resolve numeric addresses to hostnames.
-p
Show prefix list.
-P
Flush all the entries in the prefix list.
-r
Show default router list.
-R
Flush all the entries in the default router list.
-s
Register an NDP entry for a node.
The entry will be permanent unless the word
temp
is given in the command.
If the word
proxy
is given, this system will act as a proxy NDP server,
responding to requests for
hostname
even though the host address is not its own.
-t
Print timestamp on each entry,
making it possible to merge output with
tcpdump(1).
Most useful when used with
-A
