Monitoring Link Configurations

The dladm subcommand command is the administrative tool to use to configure data links on the link layer of the networking stack. You also use dladm to monitor links and obtain information such as the link states, associated physical devices, and other information specific to the type of link configuration. For more information about monitoring links, see Link Administration and Monitoring. You can also refer to the specific chapters that discuss types of link configurations, such as Performing Other Administrative Tasks on VLANs and Chapter 6, Administering Link Aggregations.
