Administering Profiles by Using the netadm Command

The netadm command is used to administer and obtain the status of profiles (NCPs, locations, ENMs, and WLANs) and NCUs, the individual configuration objects that make up an NCP. In addition, you can use the netadm command to interact with the NWAM daemon (nwamd) in the absence of a GUI. For more information about netadm, see the netadm(1M) man page.

The following netadm subcommands are supported:

For task-related information, see Chapter 5, NWAM Profile Administration (Tasks).
