command is used to administer data-links. A data-link is represented in the system as a
. Each data-link relies on either a single network device or an aggregation of devices to send packets to or receive packets from a network.
A network device, identified by concatenation of a driver name and an instance number.
An Ethernet stub can be used instead of a physical NIC to create VNICs. VNICs created on an etherstub will appear to be connected through a virtual switch, allowing complete virtual networks to be built without physical hardware.
A secure object, identified by an administratively-chosen name. The name can use any alphanumeric characters, as well as underscore ( _), period ( .), and hyphen (-). A secure object name can be at most 32 characters.
SUBCOMMANDS
The following subcommands are supported:
dladm show-link [
-P] [
-s [
-i interval]] [[
-p]
-o field[,...]][
link]
Show link configuration information (the default) or statistics, either for all datalinks or for the specified link
link. By default, the system is configured with one datalink for each known network device.
-o field[,...],
--output=
field[,...]
A case-insensitive, comma-separated list of output fields to display. When not modified by the
-s option (described below), the field name must be one of the fields listed below, or the special value
all to display all fields. By default (without
-o),
show-link displays all fields.
LINK
The name of the datalink.
CLASS
The class of the datalink.
dladm distinguishes between the following classes:
phys
A physical datalink. The show-phys subcommand displays more detail for this class of datalink.
aggr
An IEEE 802.3ad link aggregation. The show-aggr subcommand displays more detail for this class of datalink.
vlan
A VLAN datalink. The show-vlan subcommand displays more detail for this class of datalink.
vnic
A virtual network interface. The show-vnic subcommand displays more detail for this class of datalink.
MTU

The output provides a FLAGS column in which the r flag indicates that the physical device associated with a physical link has been removed. For such links, delete-phys can be used to purge the link's configuration from the system.
dladm create-aggr [
-t] [
-R root-dir] [
-P policy] [
-L mode] [
-T time] [
-u address]
-l ether-link1 [
-l ether-link2...]
aggr-link
Combine a set of links into a single IEEE 802.3ad link aggregation named
aggr-link. The use of an integer
key to generate a link name for the aggregation is also supported for backward compatibility. Many of the
*-aggr subcommands below also support the use of a
key to refer to a given aggregation, but use of the aggregation link name is preferred. See the
NOTES section for more information on keys.
dladm supports a number of port selection policies for an aggregation of ports. (See the description of the
-P option, below.) If you do not specify a policy,
create-aggr uses the default, the L4 policy, described under the
-P option.
-l ether-link,
--link=
ether-link
Each Ethernet link (or port) in the aggregation is specified using an -l option followed by the name of the link to be included in the aggregation. Multiple links are included in the aggregation by specifying multiple -l options. For backward compatibility with previous versions of Solaris, the dladm command also supports the using the -d option (or --dev) with a device name to specify links by their underlying device name. The other *-aggr subcommands that take -loptions also accept -d.
-t,
--temporary
Specifies that the aggregation is temporary. Temporary aggregations last until the next reboot.
-R root-dir,
--root-dir=
root-dir
See "Options," above.
-P policy,
--policy=
policy
Specifies the port selection policy to use for load spreading of outbound traffic. The policy specifies which
dev object is used to send packets. A policy is a list of one or more layers specifiers separated by commas. A layer specifier is one of the following:
L2
Select outbound device according to source and destination MAC addresses of the packet.
L3
Select outbound device according to source and destination IP addresses of the packet.
L4
Select outbound device according to the upper layer protocol information contained in the packet. For TCP and UDP, this includes source and destination ports. For IPsec, this includes the SPI (Security Parameters Index).
For example, to use upper layer protocol information, the following policy can be used:
-P L4
Note that policy L4 is the default.
To use the source and destination
MAC addresses as well as the source and destination
IP addresses, the following policy can be used:
-P L2,L3
-L mode,

The
show-aggr command accepts the following options:
-L,
--lacp
Displays detailed
LACP information for the aggregation link and each underlying port. Most of the state information displayed by this option is defined by IEEE 802.3. With this option, the following fields can be displayed:
LINK
The name of the aggregation link.
PORT
The name of one of the underlying aggregation ports.
AGGREGATABLE

PORTSTATE
This indicates whether the individual aggregation port is in the standby or attached state.
-o field[,...],
--output=
field[,...]
A case-insensitive, comma-separated list of output fields to display. The field name must be one of the fields listed above, or the special value all, to display all fields. The fields applicable to the -o option are limited to those listed under each output mode. For example, if using -L, only the fields listed under -L, above, can be used with -o.
-p,
--parsable
Display using a stable machine-parsable format. The -o option is required with -p. See "Parsable Output Format", below.
-P,
--persistent
Display the persistent aggregation configuration rather than the state of the running system.
-s,
--statistics
Displays aggregation statistics.
-i interval,
--interval=
interval
Used with the -s option to specify an interval, in seconds, at which statistics should be displayed. If this option is not specified, statistics will be displayed only once.
dladm create-bridge [
-P protect] [
-R root-dir] [
-p priority] [
-m max-age] [
-h hello-time] [
-d forward-delay] [
-f force-protocol] [
-l link...]
bridge-name
Create an 802.1D bridge instance and optionally assign one or more network links to the new bridge. By default, no bridge instances are present on the system.
In order to bridge between links, you must create at least one bridge instance. Each bridge instance is separate, and there is no forwarding connection between bridges.
-P protect,
--protect=
protect
Specifies a protection method. The defined protection methods are stp for the Spanning Tree Protocol and trill for TRILL, which is used on RBridges. The default value is stp.
-R root-dir,
--root-dir=
root-dir
See "Options," above.
-p priority,
--priority=
priority
Specifies the Bridge Priority. This sets the IEEE STP priority value for determining the root bridge node in the network. The default value is
32768. Valid values are
0 (highest priority) to
61440 (lowest priority), in increments of 4096.
If a value not evenly divisible by 4096 is used, the system silently rounds downward to the next lower value that is divisible by 4096.
-m max-age,
--max-age=
max-age
Specifies the maximum age for configuration information in seconds. This sets the STP Bridge Max Age parameter. This value is used for all nodes in the network if this node is the root bridge. Bridge link information older than this time is discarded. It defaults to 20 seconds. Valid values are from 6 to 40 seconds. See the -d forward-delay parameter for additional constraints.
-h hello-time,
--hello-time=
hello-time
Specifies the STP Bridge Hello Time parameter. When this node is the root node, it sends Configuration BPDUs at this interval throughout the network. The default value is 2 seconds. Valid values are from 1 to 10 seconds. See the -d forward-delay parameter for additional constraints.
-d forward-delay,
--forward-delay=
forward-delay
Specifies the STP Bridge Forward Delay parameter. When this node is the root node, then all bridges in the network use this timer to sequence the link states when a port is enabled. The default value is 15 seconds. Valid values are from 4 to 30 seconds.
Bridges must obey the following two constraints:
2 * (
forward-delay - 1.0) >=
max-age
max-age >= 2 * (
hello-time + 1.0)
Any parameter setting that would violate those constraints is treated as an error and causes the command to fail with a diagnostic message. The message provides valid alternatives to the supplied values.
-f force-protocol,
--force-protocol=
force-protocol
Specifies the MSTP forced maximum supported protocol. The default value is 3. Valid values are non-negative integers. The current implementation does not support RSTP or MSTP, so this currently has no effect. However, to prevent MSTP from being used in the future, the parameter may be set to 0 for STP only or 2 for STP and RSTP.
-l link,
--link=
link
Specifies one or more links to add to the newly-created bridge. This is similar to creating the bridge and then adding one or more links, as with the add-bridge subcommand. However, if any of the links cannot be added, the entire command fails, and the new bridge itself is not created. To add multiple links on the same command line, repeat this option for each link. You are permitted to create bridges without links. For more information about link assignments, see the add-bridge subcommand.
Bridge creation and link assignment require the
PRIV_SYS_DL_CONFIG privilege. Bridge creation might fail if the optional bridging feature is not installed on the system.
dladm modify-bridge [
-P protect] [
-R root-dir] [
-p priority] [
-m max-age] [
-h hello-time] [
-d forward-delay] [
-f force-protocol] [
-l link...]
bridge-name
Modify the operational parameters of an existing bridge. The options are the same as for the
create-bridge subcommand, except that the
-l option is not permitted. To add links to an existing bridge, use the
add-bridge subcommand.
Bridge parameter modification requires the
PRIV_SYS_DL_CONFIG privilege.
dladm delete-bridge [
-R root-dir]
bridge-name
Delete a bridge instance. The bridge being deleted must not have any attached links. Use the
remove-bridge subcommand to deactivate links before deleting a bridge.
Bridge deletion requires the
PRIV_SYS_DL_CONFIG privilege.
The
-R (
--root-dir) option is the same as for the
create-bridge subcommand.
dladm add-bridge [
-R root-dir]
-l link [
-l link...]
bridge-name
Add one or more links to an existing bridge. If multiple links are specified, and adding any one of them results in an error, the command fails and no changes are made to the system.
Link addition to a bridge requires the
PRIV_SYS_DL_CONFIG privilege.
A link may be a member of at most one bridge. An error occurs when you attempt to add a link that already belongs to another bridge. To move a link from one bridge instance to another, remove it from the current bridge before adding it to a new one.
The links assigned to a bridge must not also be VLANs, VNICs, or tunnels. Only physical Ethernet datalinks, aggregation datalinks, wireless links, and Ethernet stubs are permitted to be assigned to a bridge.
Links assigned to a bridge must all have the same MTU. This is checked when the link is assigned. The link is added to the bridge in a deactivated form if it is not the first link on the bridge and it has a differing MTU.
Note that systems using bridging should not set the
eeprom(1M)
local-mac-address? variable to false.
The options are the same as for the
create-bridge subcommand.
dladm remove-bridge [
-R root-dir]
-l link [
-l link...]
bridge-name
Remove one or more links from a bridge instance. If multiple links are specified, and removing any one of them would result in an error, the command fails and none are removed.
Link removal from a bridge requires the
PRIV_SYS_DL_CONFIG privilege.
The options are the same as for the
create-bridge subcommand.
dladm show-bridge [
-flt] [
-s [
-i interval]] [[
-p]
-o field,...] [
bridge-name]
Show the running status and configuration of bridges, their attached links, learned forwarding entries, and
TRILL nickname databases. When showing overall bridge status and configuration, the bridge name can be omitted to show all bridges. The other forms require a specified bridge.
The show-bridge subcommand accepts the following options:
-i interval,
--interval=
interval
Used with the -s option to specify an interval, in seconds, at which statistics should be displayed. If this option is not specified, statistics will be displayed only once.
-s,
--statistics
Display statistics for the specified bridges or for a given bridge's attached links. This option cannot be used with the -f and -t options.
-p,
--parsable
Display using a stable machine-parsable format. See "Parsable Output Format," below.
-o field[,...],
--output=
field[,...]
A case-insensitive, comma-separated list of output fields to display. The field names are described below. The special value all displays all fields. Each set of fields has its own default set to display when -o is not specified.

The VLAN was created using the -f option to create-vlan.
i
The VLAN was implicitly created when the DLPI link was opened. These VLAN links are automatically deleted on last close of the DLPI link (for example, when the IP interface associated with the VLAN link is unplumbed).
Additional flags might be defined in the future.
-p,
--parsable
Display using a stable machine-parsable format. The -o option is required with -p. See "Parsable Output Format", below.
-P,
--persistent
Display the persistent VLAN configuration rather than the state of the running system.
dladm scan-wifi [[
-p]
-o field[,...]] [
wifi-link]
Scans for
WiFi networks, either on all
WiFi links, or just on the specified
wifi-link.
By default, currently all fields but
BSSTYPE are displayed.
-o field[,...],
--output=
field[,...]
A case-insensitive, comma-separated list of output fields to display. The field name must be one of the fields listed below, or the special value
all to display all fields. For each
WiFi network found, the following fields can be displayed:
LINK
The name of the link the WiFi network is on.
ESSID
The ESSID (name) of the WiFi network.
BSSID
Either the hardware address of the WiFi network's Access Point (for BSS networks), or the WiFi network's randomly generated unique token (for IBSS networks).
SEC
Either none for a WiFi network that uses no security, wep for a WiFi network that requires WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), or wpa for a WiFi network that requires WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access).
MODE
The supported connection modes: one or more of a, b, or g.
STRENGTH
The strength of the signal: one of excellent, very good, good, weak, or very weak.
SPEED
The maximum speed of the WiFi network, in megabits per second.
BSSTYPE
Either bss for BSS (infrastructure) networks, or ibss for IBSS (ad-hoc) networks.
-p,
--parsable
Display using a stable machine-parsable format. The -o option is required with -p. See "Parsable Output Format", below.

-T time] [
wifi-link]
Connects to a
WiFi network. This consists of four steps:
discovery,
filtration,
prioritization, and
association. However, to enable connections to non-broadcast
WiFi networks and to improve performance, if a
BSSID or
ESSID is specified using the
-e or
-i options, then the first three steps are skipped and
connect-wifi immediately attempts to associate with a
BSSID or
ESSID that matches the rest of the provided parameters. If this association fails, but there is a possibility that other networks matching the specified criteria exist, then the traditional discovery process begins as specified below.
The discovery step finds all available
WiFi networks on the specified WiFi link, which must not yet be connected. For administrative convenience, if there is only one
WiFi link on the system,
wifi-link can be omitted.
Once discovery is complete, the list of networks is filtered according to the value of the following options:
-e essid, --essid=
essid
Networks that do not have the same essid are filtered out.
-b bss|
ibss,
--bsstype=
bss|
ibss
Networks that do not have the same bsstype are filtered out.
-m a|
b|
g,
--mode=
a|
b|
g
Networks not appropriate for the specified 802.11 mode are filtered out.
-k key,...,
--key=
key, ...
Use the specified secobj named by the key to connect to the network. Networks not appropriate for the specified keys are filtered out.
-s none|
wep|
wpa,
--sec=
none|
wep|
wpa
Networks not appropriate for the specified security mode are filtered out.
Next, the remaining networks are prioritized, first by signal strength, and then by maximum speed. Finally, an attempt is made to associate with each network in the list, in order, until one succeeds or no networks remain.
In addition to the options described above, the following options also control the behavior of
connect-wifi:
-a open|
shared,
--auth=
open|
shared
Connect using the specified authentication mode. By default, open and shared are tried in order.
-c,
--create-ibss
Used with -b ibss to create a new ad-hoc network if one matching the specified ESSID cannot be found. If no ESSID is specified, then -c -b ibss always triggers the creation of a new ad-hoc network.
-T time,
--timeout=
time
Specifies the number of seconds to wait for association to succeed. If time is forever, then the associate will wait indefinitely. The current default is ten seconds, but this might change in the future. Timeouts shorter than the default might not succeed reliably.
-k key,...,
--key=
key,...
In addition to the filtering previously described, the specified keys will be used to secure the association. The security mode to use will be based on the key class; if a security mode was explicitly specified, it must be compatible with the key class. All keys must be of the same class.
For security modes that support multiple key slots, the slot to place the key will be specified by a colon followed by an index. Therefore,
-k mykey:3 places
mykey in slot 3. By default, slot 1 is assumed. For security modes that support multiple keys, a comma-separated list can be specified, with the first key being the active key.
dladm disconnect-wifi [
-a] [
wifi-link]
Disconnect from one or more
WiFi networks. If
wifi-link specifies a connected
WiFi link, then it is disconnected. For administrative convenience, if only one
WiFi link is connected,
wifi-link can be omitted.
-a,
--all-links
Disconnects from all connected links. This is primarily intended for use by scripts.
dladm show-wifi [[

-t] [
-R root-dir] [
-f file]
-c class secobj
Create a secure object named
secobj in the specified
class to be later used as a WEP or WPA key in connecting to an encrypted network. The value of the secure object can either be provided interactively or read from a file. The sequence of interactive prompts and the file format depends on the class of the secure object.
Currently, the classes
wep and
wpa are supported. The
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) key can be either 5 or 13 bytes long. It can be provided either as an
ASCII or hexadecimal string -- thus,

keyword
Sets the VNIC's MAC address based on the specified value or keyword. If
value is not a keyword, it is interpreted as a unicast MAC address, which must be valid for the underlying NIC. The following special keywords can be used:
factory [-n slot-identifier],
factory [--slot=
slot-identifier]
Assign a factory MAC address to the VNIC. When a factory MAC address is requested, -m can be combined with the -n option to specify a MAC address slot to be used. If -n is not specified, the system will choose the next available factory MAC address. The -m option of the show-phys subcommand can be used to display the list of factory MAC addresses, their slot identifiers, and their availability.
random [-r prefix],
random [--mac-prefix=
prefix]
Assign a random MAC address to the VNIC. A default prefix consisting of a valid IEEE OUI with the local bit set will be used. That prefix can be overridden with the -r option.

iptun-link
Create an IP tunnel link named
iptun-link. Such links can additionally be protected with IPsec using
ipsecconf(1M).
An IP tunnel is conceptually comprised of two parts: a virtual link between two or more IP nodes, and an IP interface above this link that allows the system to transmit and receive IP packets encapsulated by the underlying link. This subcommand creates a virtual link. The
ifconfig(1M) command is used to configure IP interfaces above the link.

-T type,
--tunnel-type=
type
Specifies the type of tunnel to be created. The type must be one of the following:
ipv4
A point-to-point, IP-over-IP tunnel between two IPv4 nodes. This type of tunnel requires IPv4 source and destination addresses to function. IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces can be plumbed above such a tunnel to create IPv4-over-IPv4 and IPv6-over-IPv4 tunneling configurations.
ipv6
A point-to-point, IP-over-IP tunnel between two IPv6 nodes as defined in IETF RFC 2473. This type of tunnel requires IPv6 source and destination addresses to function. IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces can be plumbed above such a tunnel to create IPv4-over-IPv6 and IPv6-over-IPv6 tunneling configurations.
6to4
A 6to4, point-to-multipoint tunnel as defined in IETF RFC 3056. This type of tunnel requires an IPv4 source address to function. An IPv6 interface is plumbed on such a tunnel link to configure a 6to4 router.
-a local=addr
Literal IP address or hostname corresponding to the tunnel source. If a hostname is specified, it will be resolved to IP addresses, and one of those IP addresses will be used as the tunnel source. Because IP tunnels are created before naming services have been brought online during the boot process, it is important that any hostname used be included in /etc/hosts.
-a remote=addr
Literal IP address or hostname corresponding to the tunnel destination.
dladm modify-iptun [
-t] [
-R root-dir] [-a {local|remote}=<addr>[,...]]

field[,...]
A case-insensitive, comma-separated list of output fields to display. The field name must be one of the fields listed below, or the special value
all, to display all fields. By default (without
-o),
show-iptun displays all fields.
LINK
The name of the IP tunnel link.
TYPE
Type of tunnel as specified by the -T option of create-iptun.
FLAGS
A set of flags associated with the IP tunnel link. Possible flags are:
s
The IP tunnel link is protected by IPsec policy. To display the IPsec policy associated with the tunnel link, enter:
#
ipsecconf -ln -i tunnel-link
See
ipsecconf(1M) for more details on how to configure IPsec policy.
i
The IP tunnel link was implicitly created with ifconfig(1M), and will be automatically deleted when it is no longer referenced (that is, when the last IP interface over the tunnel is unplumbed). See ifconfig(1M) for details on implicit tunnel creation.
SOURCE

DESTINATION
The tunnel destination address.
dladm show-usage [
-a]
-f filename [
-p plotfile -F format] [
-s time] [

-s time,
--start=
time
-e time,
--stop=
time
Start and stop times for data display. Time is in the format MM/DD/YYYY,hh:mm:ss.
link
If specified, display the network usage only for the named link. Otherwise, display network usage for all links.
General Link Properties
The following general link properties are supported:
allowed-ips
A comma-separated list of IP addresses that are allowed on the interface.
An address in CIDR format with no host address specified is used to indicate that any address on that subnet is allowed (e.g. 192.168.10.0/24 means any address in the range 192.168.10.0 - 192.168.10.255 is allowed).
autopush
Specifies the set of STREAMS modules to push on the stream associated with a link when its DLPI device is opened. It is a space-delimited list of modules.
The optional special character sequence
[anchor] indicates that a STREAMS anchor should be placed on the stream at the module previously specified in the list. It is an error to specify more than one anchor or to have an anchor first in the list.
The
autopush property is preferred over the more general
autopush(1M) command.
cpus
Bind the processing of packets for a given data link to a processor or a set of processors. The value can be a comma-separated list of one or more processor ids. If the list consists of more than one processor, the processing will spread out to all the processors. Connection to processor affinity and packet ordering for any individual connection will be maintained.
The processor or set of processors are not exclusively reserved for the link. Only the kernel threads and interrupts associated with processing of the link are bound to the processor or the set of processors specified. In case it is desired that processors be dedicated to the link,
psrset(1M) can be used to create a processor set and then specifying the processors from the processor set to bind the link to.
If the link was already bound to processor or set of processors due to a previous operation, the binding will be removed and the new set of processors will be used instead.
The default is no CPU binding, which is to say that the processing of packets is not bound to any specific processor or processor set.
learn_limit
Limits the number of new or changed MAC sources to be learned over a bridge link. When the number exceeds this value, learning on that link is temporarily disabled. Only non-VLAN, non-VNIC type links have this property.
The default value is
1000. Valid values are greater or equal to 0.
learn_decay
Specifies the decay rate for source changes limited by
learn_limit. This number is subtracted from the counter for a bridge link every 5 seconds. Only non-VLAN, non-VNIC type links have this property.
The default value is
200. Valid values are greater or equal to 0.
maxbw
Sets the full duplex bandwidth for the link. The bandwidth is specified as an integer with one of the scale suffixes ( K, M, or G for Kbps, Mbps, and Gbps). If no units are specified, the input value will be read as Mbps. The default is no bandwidth limit.
priority
Sets the relative priority for the link. The value can be given as one of the tokens high, medium, or low. The default is high.
stp
Enables or disables Spanning Tree Protocol on a bridge link. Setting this value to 0 disables Spanning Tree, and puts the link into forwarding mode with BPDU guarding enabled. This mode is appropriate for point-to-point links connected only to end nodes. Only non-VLAN, non-VNIC type links have this property. The default value is 1, to enable STP.
forward
Enables or disables forwarding for a VLAN. Setting this value to 0 disables bridge forwarding for a VLAN link. Disabling bridge forwarding removes that VLAN from the "allowed set" for the bridge. The default value is 1, to enable bridge forwarding for configured VLANs.
default_tag
Sets the default VLAN ID that is assumed for untagged packets sent to and received from this link. Only non-VLAN, non-VNIC type links have this property. Setting this value to 0 disables the bridge forwarding of untagged packets to and from the port. The default value is VLAN ID 1. Valid values values are from 0 to 4094.
promisc-filtered
Enables or disables the default filtering of promiscuous mode for certain classes of links. By default, VNICs will only see unicast traffic destined for it in promiscuous mode. Not all the unicast traffic from the underlying device makes it to the VNIC. Disabling this would cause a VNIC, for example, to be able to see all unicast traffic from the device it is created over. The default value is on.
stp_priority
Sets the STP and RSTP Port Priority value, which is used to determine the preferred root port on a bridge. Lower numerical values are higher priority. The default value is 128. Valid values range from 0 to 255.
stp_cost
Sets the STP and RSTP cost for using the link. The default value is auto, which sets the cost based on link speed, using 100 for 10Mbps, 19 for 100Mbps, 4 for 1Gbps, and 2 for 10Gbps. Valid values range from 1 to 65535.
stp_edge
Enables or disables bridge edge port detection. If set to 0 (false), the system assumes that the port is connected to other bridges even if no bridge PDUs of any type are seen. The default value is 1, which detects edge ports automatically.
stp_p2p
Sets bridge point-to-point operation mode. Possible values are true, false, and auto. When set to auto, point-to-point connections are automatically discovered. When set to true, the port mode is forced to use point-to-point. When set to false, the port mode is forced to use normal multipoint mode. The default value is auto.
stp_mcheck
Triggers the system to run the RSTP
Force BPDU Migration Check procedure on this link. The procedure is triggered by setting the property value to
1. The property is automatically reset back to
0. This value cannot be set unless the following are true:
-
o
-
The bridge is protected by Spanning Tree
-
o
-
The bridge force-protocol value is at least 2 (RSTP)
The default value is 0.
zone
Specifies the zone to which the link belongs. This property can be modified only temporarily through dladm, and thus the -t option must be specified. To modify the zone assignment such that it persists across reboots, please use zonecfg(1M). Possible values consist of any exclusive-IP zone currently running on the system. By default, the zone binding is as per zonecfg(1M).
