IP Parameter Name Changes (Oracle Solaris 11)

The following IP parameters have been renamed to IP properties.

You can set an IP property by using syntax similar to the following:

# ipadm set-prop -p _icmp_err_interval=100 ip

You can display IP property information by using syntax similar to the following:

# ipadm show-prop -p _icmp_err_interval ip
PROTO PROPERTY              PERM CURRENT      PERSISTENT   DEFAULT      POSSIBLE
ip    _icmp_err_interval    rw   100          100          100          0-99999
