niffconfig

niffconfig(8)						      System Manager's Manual						     niffconfig(8)

NAME

       niffconfig - Configuration program for the Network Interface Failure Finder (NIFF)

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/niffconfig [-a] [-m] [-r] [-s] [-u] [-v] [-d num] [-o num] [-t num] [interface1 interface2...]

OPTIONS

       Adds an interface or interfaces, specified by the interface parameter. You cannot specify the -a option with the -m, -s, -r, or -u options.
       Specifies the time period, in seconds, that the traffic monitor thread uses between reads of the interface counters when it suspects  there
       is  a  connectivity  problem. This number must be smaller than the number given for the -t option. The default time period is 5 seconds. If
       num is not specified, niffconfig uses the default.  Specifies the total number of traffic-free seconds that must elapse before the  traffic
       monitor	thread determines that a network interface has failed.	This number must be at least the sum of the -d option and two times the -t
       option.	That is, given the default time period for -d and -t, the -o option must be at least 20 seconds.  The default time period for this
       option is 60 seconds. If num is not specified, niffconfig uses the default.  Modifies the timing parameters of an interface that is already
       being monitored. Typically, this option is specified along with one or more of -t num, -d num, or -o num options.  If none of these parame-
       ters  are  specified, the default value is used. You cannot specify the -m option with the -a, -s, -r, or -u options.  Stops monitoring the
       specified interface.  Obtains the status of the specified interface.  Specifies the time period,  in  seconds,  that  the  traffic  monitor
       thread  delays between reads of the interface counters when the network is running normally.  The default time period is 20 seconds. If num
       is not specified, niffconfig uses the default.  Displays the status of all interfaces currently being monitored to standard  out  (stdout).
       Displays the status, timer values, and description (verbose mode) of all interfaces currently being monitored to standard out (stdout).

DESCRIPTION

       The  niffconfig	command  arranges for one or more network interfaces to be monitored for possible loss of connectivity.  Timing parameters
       that govern how quickly an interface can be declared suspect or dead may be manipulated with this command. You can specify multiple  inter-
       faces, separated by a space, on the command line. Note, you must be superuser to use the niffconfig command.

       Except for the -u and -u options, all niffconfig options require one or more network interfaces to be specified.

EXAMPLES

       To  add	the  tu0  and  tu1  interfaces	to the list of monitored interfaces, enter: # niffconfig -a tu0 tu1 To change the time it takes to
       declare failure on the tu1 interface to 90 seconds, enter: # niffconfig -o 90 tu1 To display the status of all interfaces  that	are  being
       monitored: # niffconfig -u To stop monitoring the tu0 interface: # niffconfig -r tu0
