Obtaining Information About IP Interface Properties

Use the ipadm show-ifprop interface command to obtain information about the properties of IP interfaces. If you do not specify a property or an interface, then information about all of the properties of all of the IP interfaces on the system is displayed.

The fields in the command output refer to the following:

IFNAME

Refers to the IP interface whose information is being displayed.

PROPERTY

Refers to a property of the interface. An interface can have several properties.

PROTO

Refers to the protocol to which the property applies, which can be either IPv4 or IPv6.

PERM

Refers to the allowed permissions of a given property, which can be read only, write only, or both.

CURRENT

Indicates the current value of the property in the active configuration.

PERSISTENT

Refers to the value of the property that is reapplied when the system is rebooted.

DEFAULT

Indicates the default value of the specified property.

POSSIBLE

Refers to a list of values that can be assigned to the specified property. For numeric values, a range of acceptable values is displayed.

The following example shows the type of information that the show-ifprop subcommand displays:

# ipadm show-ifprop -p mtu net1
IFNAME  PROPERTY  PROTO  PERM  CURRENT  PERSISTENT  DEFAULT  POSSIBLE
net1    mtu       ipv4   rw    1500      --         1500     68-1500
net1    mtu       ipv6   rw    1500      --         1500     1280-1500
