Appendix B
Comparison Map: ndd and ipadm Commands
The ipadm command has replaced the ndd command for the purpose of customizing
network parameters or tunables. Although the ndd command is still functional in
Oracle Solaris 11, the ipadm command is the preferred tool for customizing network
parameters. However, some ndd options do not have equivalent ipadm subcommands. The following
table lists selected command options of the ndd command and their equivalents in
the ipadm command.
Note - The table does not provide a comprehensive list of ipadm options. For a
full list, see theipadm(1M) man page.
