NDP(8) BSD System Manager's Manual NDP(8) NAME ndp -- control/diagnose IPv6 neighbor discovery protocol SYNOPSIS ndp [-nt] hostname ndp [-nt] -a | -c | -p ndp [-nt] -r ndp [-nt] -H | -P | -R ndp [-nt] -A wait ndp [-nt] -d hostname ndp [-nt] -f filename ndp [-nt] -i interface [expressions ...] ndp [-nt] -I [interface | delete] ndp [-nt] -s nodename etheraddr [temp] [proxy] DESCRIPTION The ndp utility manipulates the address mapping table used by the Neigh- bor Discovery Protocol (NDP). -a Dump the currently existing NDP entries. The following informa- tion will be printed: Neighbor IPv6 address of the neighbor. Linklayer Address Linklayer address of the neighbor. It could be "(incomplete)" when the address is not available. Netif Network interface associated with the neighbor cache entry. Expire The time until expiry of the entry. The entry could become "permanent", in which case it will never expire. S State of the neighbor cache entry, as a single letter: N Nostate W Waitdelete I Incomplete R Reachable S Stale D Delay P Probe ? Unknown state (should never happen). Flags Flags on the neighbor cache entry, in a single letter. They are: Router, proxy neighbor advertisement ("p"). The field could be followed by a decimal number, which means the number of NS probes the node has sent during the current state. -A wait Repeat -a (dump NDP entries) every wait seconds. -c Erase all the NDP entries. -d Delete specified NDP entry. -f Parse the file specified by filename. -H Harmonize consistency between the routing table and the default router list; install the top entry of the list into the kernel routing table. -I Shows the default interface used as the default route when there is no default router. -I interface Specifies the default interface used as the default route when there is no default router. The interface will be used as the default. -I delete The current default interface will be deleted from the kernel. -i interface [expressions ...] View ND information for the specified interface. If additional arguments expressions are given, ndp sets or clears the flags or variables for the interface as specified in the expression. Each expression should be separated by white spaces or tab characters. Possible expressions are as follows. Some of the expressions can begin with the special character `-', which means the flag speci- fied in the expression should be cleared. Note that you need -- before -foo in this case. nud Turn on or off NUD (Neighbor Unreachability Detection) on the interface. NUD is usually turned on by default. accept_rtadv Specify whether or not to accept Router Advertisement messages received on the interface. Note that the kernel does not accept Router Advertisement messages unless the net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv variable is non-0, even if the flag is on. This flag is set to 1 by default. prefer_source Prefer addresses on the interface as candidates of the source address for outgoing packets. The default value of this flag is off. For more details about the entire algorithm of source address selection, see the IMPLEMENTATION file supplied with the KAME kit. disabled Disable IPv6 operation on the interface. When disabled, the interface discards any IPv6 packets received on or being sent to the interface. In the sending case, an er- ror of ENETDOWN will be returned to the application. This flag is typically set automatically in the kernel as a result of a certain failure of Duplicate Address Detec- tion. While the flag can be set or cleared by hand with the ndp command, it is not generally advisable to modify this flag manually. basereachable=(number) Specify the BaseReachbleTimer on the interface in mil- lisecond. retrans=(number) Specify the RetransTimer on the interface in millisecond. curhlim=(number) Specify the Cur Hop Limit on the interface. -n Do not try to resolve numeric addresses to hostnames. -p Show prefix list. -P Flush all the entries in the prefix list. -r Show default router list. -R Flush all the entries in the default router list. -s Register an NDP entry for a node. The entry will be permanent unless the word temp is given in the command. If the word proxy is given, this system will act as a proxy NDP server, responding to requests for hostname even though the host address is not its own. -t Print timestamp on each entry, making it possible to merge output with tcpdump(1). Most useful when used with -A. EXIT STATUS The ndp utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. SEE ALSO arp(8) HISTORY The ndp utility first appeared in the WIDE Hydrangea IPv6 protocol stack kit. BSD May 17, 1998 BSD
