Applications that retrieve Oracle Solaris IP MIB-II information should open /dev/arp, not /dev/ip.
% getdevpolicy /dev/ip /dev/arp /dev/ip read_priv_set=net_rawaccess write_priv_set=net_rawaccess /dev/arp read_priv_set=none write_priv_set=none
Note that the net_rawaccess privilege is required for reading and writing to /dev/ip. No privileges are required for /dev/arp.
No privileges are required. This method is equivalent to opening /dev/ip and pushing the arp, tcp, and udp modules. Because opening /dev/ip now requires a privilege, the /dev/arp method is preferred.
