HISTORY
- The CTF utilities, including ctfdump, have been used in the construc-
- tion of Solaris since Sun Solaris 9. They were added as system utili-
- ties in Oracle Solaris 11.4.75.
+ The -a and -w options were added, and the string table and statistics
+ information dropped from the default output, in Oracle Solaris 11.4.90.
Support for dumping GNU CTF from relocatable objects created by the gcc
compilers was added in the Oracle Solaris 11.4.84 release.

-NAME
- flowacct - Flow Accounting module
-
-DESCRIPTION
- The flow accounting module flowacct enables you to record flow details.
- You use flow details to gather statistics and/or for billing purposes.
- Accounting consists of recording flow details in a location you desig-
- nate and in a format that you can retrieve at a later stage. IPQoS ac-
- counting relies on the exacct mechanism to store and retrieve flow in-
- formation.
-
-
- A flow is defined by the 5-tuple - saddr, sport, daddr, dport and pro-
- tocol.
-
-
- Typically, the accounting module is the last datapath element in a se-
- quence of actions. Flow attributes include ToS/DS, user id, project id,
- creation time (time the flow was created), last seen (when pkts for the
- flow were last seen), action name (instance that recorded the flow in-
- formation), nbytes and npackets. Attributes are split into groups enti-
- tled basic and extended. The basic group records only the nbytes,
- npackets and action name, while the extended group is a superset of the
- basic group and records all attributes. The attributes to be recorded,
- in addition to the accounting file that contains flow details, are se-
- lected using acctadm(8). The flowacct module does not provide a mecha-
- nism to retrieve flow information from the accounting file nor to in-
- terpret the retrieved information.
-
- Statistics
- The flowacct module exports the following statistics available through
- kstat:
-
-
-
- module: flowacct instance: <action id>
- name: Flowacct statistics class <action name>
- bytes_in_tbl <bytes in the flow table>
- epackets <packets in error>
- flows_in_tbl <flow records in the flow table>
- nbytes <number of bytes through this instance>

-NAME
- ipgpc - IP Generic Packet Classifier
-
-DESCRIPTION
- The IP Generic Packet Classifier (ipgpc) module provides packet classi-
- fication at the Solaris IP layer. ipgpc is an implementation of the
- Multi-Field (MF) classifier as described in RFC2475: An Architecture
- for Differentiated Services.
-
-
- The classifier is configured, at startup or dynamically, using a set of
- "filters." Filters describe selectors that are matched against input
- packets that are processed by the classifier. Some selectors feature
- exact matching data points, while others utilize non-exact or wildcard
- data points.
-
-
- Each filter is associated with a class describing the next actions to
- process a packet. There is a many-to-one (M-to-1) mapping relationship
- between filters and a class. Additionally, each class is aware of which
- filters are associated with it. A class is configured with a class name
- and a next action.
-
-
- Unlike traditional classifiers used in edge routers, ipgpc is designed
- for a host or server device. A host-based classifier provides access to
- more resources and data than edge routers. User, project, and interface
- information are available at the host.
-
- Statistics
- The ipgpc module exports global and per-class statistics (available
- through kstat:)
-
-
- Global statistics:
-
-
-
- module: ipgpc instance:<action id>
- name: ipgpc global stats class: <action name>

- snaptime

- nfilters <number of filters>
- npackets <number of classified packets>
- epackets <number of packets in error>

- Per-class statistics:

-NAME
- ipqos - IP Quality of Service
-
-DESCRIPTION
- ipqos is an implementation of the Differentiated Services model defined
- in RFC2475: An Architecture for Differentiated Services, which defines
- the following entities: multi-field classifier, meter, marker, and
- dropper. The Solaris implementation of ipqos adds a flow accounting en-
- tity.
-
-
- These entities can be combined into processing paths that constitute a
- series of actions that are performed on groups of flows. The classifier
- groups together flows and directs them in a given processing path.
- Classifier configuration and path construction are achieved using the
- ipqosconf(8) command.
-
-
- A summary of the ipqos entities follows. For more information, refer to
- the corresponding man page for each entity.
-
- ipgpc An implementation of the classifier defined in the
- model. ipgpc has been extended and is able to se-
- lect traffic based on IP header parameters, user
- id, project id, interface name, interface group
- and direction.
-
-
- tokenmt, tswtclmt These modules implement different metering algo-
- rithms. tokenmt implements both RFC2697: A Single
- Rate Three Color Marker and RFC 2698: A Two Rate
- Three Color Marker. tswtclmt implements RFC2859: A
- Time Sliding Window Three Color Marker. These mod-
- ules only implement the metering functions defined
- in the RFCs.
-
-
- dlcosmk A marker entity that allows the setting of the
- user priority field of Ethernet frames as defined
- in the IEEE 802.1D specification. dlcosmk is only
- available with VLAN capable network interfaces.
-
-
- dscpmk A marker entity that enables the setting of the
- Differentiated Services Code Point Value in the IP
- header as defined in RFC 2474: Definition of the
- Differentiated Services Field (DS Field) in the
- IPv4 and IPv6 headers.
-
-
- flowacct An accounting module that utilizes the Solaris ex-
- tended accounting facility. flowacct logs all
- flows with parameters used to build a charge back
- mechanism.
-
-
-STATISTICS
- ipqos modules export statistics through the kstat facility. Exported
- statistics contain the following common parameters:
-
- module module name
-
-
- instance dynamic parameter identifying a specific instance
-
-
- name a string for global statistics (for example, ipgpc global
- stat) or a class name for per-class statistics for a clas-
- sifier action
-
-
-
- To verify classifier configuration, generate traffic for each of the
- configured classes and check that the statistic counters for the ex-
- pected class are increased. If you're unsure about the parameters for
- your traffic, you can use snoop(8) to determine them.
-
-
- Some actions have the instance id of the next configured action in
- their statistics. This instance id can be used to follow the action
- processing path. Instance id's -1 and -2 are the built-in actions con-
- tinue and drop, respectively.
-
-
- Examples:
-
-
- To retrieve all statistics for ipgpc:
-
-
- kstat -m ipgpc
-
-
- To retrieve statistics for the class http:
-
-
- kstat -m ipgpc -c http

-NAME
- tokenmt - Single and Two Rate Three Conformance Level Meter
-
-DESCRIPTION
- The tokenmt module can be configured as a Single or a Two Rate meter.
- Packets are deemed to belong to one of the three levels - Red, Yellow
- or Green - depending on the configured rate(s) and the burst sizes.
- When configured as a Single Rate meter, tokenmt can operate with just
- the Green and Red levels.
-
-
- Configuration parameters for tokenmt correspond to definitions in RFC-
- 2697 and RFC- 2698 as follows:
-
-
- Configuring tokenmt as a Single Rate meter (from RFC- 2697):
- committed_rate - CIR
- committed_burst - CBS
- peak_burst - EBS
-
-
- (thus peak_burst for a single rate meter is actually the 'excess burst'
- in the RFC. However, throughout the text the parameter name peak burst
- is used.)
-
-
- Configuring tokenmt as a Two Rate meter (from RFC- 2698):
- committed_rate - CIR
- peak_rate - PIR
- committed_burst - CBS
- peak_burst - PBS
-
-
- The meter is implemented using token buckets C and P, which initially
- hold tokens equivalent to committed and peak burst sizes (bits) respec-
- tively. When a packet of size B bits arrive at time t, the following
- occurs:
-
- When operating as a Single Rate meter, the outcome (level)
- is decided as follows:
- - Update tokens in C and P
- o Compute no. of tokens accumulated since the
- last time packet was seen at the committed rate as
- T(t) = committed rate * (t - t')
- (where t' is the time the last packet was seen)
- o Add T tokens to C up to a maximum of committed burst
- size. Add remaining tokens ((C+T) - Committed Burst),
- if any, to P, to a maximum of peak burst size.
- - Decide outcome
- o If not color aware
- o If B <= C, outcome is GREEN and C -= B.
- o Else, if B <= P, outcome is YELLOW and P -= B.
- o Else, outcome is Red.
- o Else,
- o obtain DSCP from packet
- o obtain color from color_map, color_map[DSCP]
- o if (color is GREEN) and (B <= C), outcome is
- GREEN and C -= B.
- o Else, if (color is GREEN or YELLOW) and
- (B <= P), outcome is YELLOW and P -= B.
- o Else, outcome is RED.
- Note that if peak_burst and yellow_next_actions are
- not specified (that is, a single rate meter with two
- outcomes), the outcome is never YELLOW.
-
-
-
- When operating as a Two Rate meter, the outcome (level) is decided as
- follows:
-
- - Update tokens in C and P
- o Compute no. of tokens accumulated since the last time a
- packet was seen at the committed and peak rates as
- Tc(t) = committed rate * (t - t')
- Tp(t) = peak rate * (t - t')
- (where t' is the time the last packet was seen)
- o Add Tc to C up to a maximum of committed burst size
- o Add Tp to P up to a maximum of peak burst size
- - Decide outcome
- o If not color aware
- o If B > P, outcome is RED.
- o Else, if B > C, outcome is YELLOW and P -= B
- o Else, outcome is GREEN and C -= B & P -= B
- o Else,
- o obtain DSCP from packet
- o obtain color from color_map, color_map[DSCP]
- o if (color is RED) or (B > P), outcome is RED
- o Else, if (color is YELLOW) or (B > C),
- outcome is YELLOW and P -= B
- o Else, outcome is GREEN and C -= B & P -= B

-NAME
- tswtclmt - Time Sliding Window Three Conformance Level Meter
-
-DESCRIPTION
- The Time Sliding Window Three Conformance level meter (tswtcl) meters a
- traffic stream and determines the conformance level of its packets.
-
-
- Packets are deemed to belong to one of the three levels, Red, Yellow or
- Green, depending on the committed and peak rate.
-
-
- The meter provides an estimate of the running average bandwidth. It
- takes into account burstiness and smoothes out its estimate to approxi-
- mate the longer-term measured sending rate of the traffic stream.
-
-
- The estimated bandwidth approximates the running average bandwidth of
- the traffic stream over a specific window (time interval). tswtcl esti-
- mates the average bandwidth using a time-based estimator. When a packet
- arrives for a class, tswtcl re-computes the average rate by using the
- rate in the last window (time interval) and the size of the arriving
- packet. The window is then slid to start at the current time (the
- packet arrival time). If the computed rate is less than the committed
- configuration parameter, the packet is deemed Green; else if the rate
- is less than the peak rate, it is Yellow; else Red. To avoid dropping
- multiple packets within a TCP window, tswtcl probabilistically assigns
- one of the three conformance level to the packet.
-
- Statistics
- The tswtcl module exports global and per-class statistics through
- kstat:

Brands
- A zone can be assigned a brand when it is initially created. A branded
- zone is one whose software does not match that software found in the
- global zone. The software can include Oracle Solaris software config-
- ured or laid out differently. The particular collection of software is
- called a "brand" (see brands(7)). Once installed, a zone's brand can
- not be changed unless the zone is first uninstalled. The solaris-kz
- brand provides even more flexibility, altering many of the restrictions
- mentioned in here.
+ A zone is given a brand when it is created. The brand defines the oper-
+ ating environment that can be installed in the zone, and determines how
+ the system behaves inside the zone so that the software installed in
+ the zone functions correctly. The branded zone software may not match
+ the software found in the global zone. The software can include Oracle

+ collection of software is called a brand, see brands(7). Once in-

+ The default brand is solaris, see solaris(7), for a native zone that

-NAME
- ipqosconf - configure the IPQoS facility
-
-SYNOPSIS
- /usr/sbin/ipqosconf
-
-
- /usr/sbin/ipqosconf -a conf_file [-vs]
-
-
- /usr/sbin/ipqosconf -c
-
-
- /usr/sbin/ipqosconf -f
-
-
- /usr/sbin/ipqosconf -l
-
-
- /usr/sbin/ipqosconf -L
-
-DESCRIPTION
- The ipqosconf utility configures the Quality of Service facility of the
- Internet Protocol (IP). Users with the Network Management rights pro-
- file can use this command.
-
-
- Without arguments, ipqosconf displays the actual IPQoS configuration.
-
-
- Configuration is not preserved across reboot. To apply the configura-
- tion early in the boot phase, you can populate the
- /etc/inet/ipqosinit.conf file and use the svcadm(8) command to enable
- the following service:
-
- svc:/network/ipqos:default
-
-
-
- This service is disabled by default.
-
-OPTIONS
- The following options are supported:
-
- -a conf_file
-
- Apply the configuration in conf_file. If the conf_file is -,
- ipqosconf reads from standard input.
-
-
- -c
-
- Populate the boot file with the current configuration.
-
-
- -f
-
- Flush the configuration.
-
-
- -l
-
- List the current applied configuration.
-
-
- -L
-
- List the current configuration in verbose mode.
-
- In addition to the information that the -l option provides, the -L
- option provides filters and classes configured through other means
- than the iqposconf command. This option also provides the full set
- of filters that were created by ipqosconf by representing a multi-
- homed host in a configuration file
-
-
- -s
-
- Log messages to syslog during an -a operation.
-
-
- -v
-
- Toggle verbose mode during an -a operation.
-
- The -v option causes all messages to go to the console in addition
- to their normal destination. Messages intended to go to syslog, be-
- cause the -s flag is set or because it is a log message, still go
- to syslog as well as the console.
-
-
-CONFIGURATION FILE
- The configuration file is composed of a format version and a succession
- of configuration (action) blocks. There are different configuration
- blocks for each type of action that is being configured.
-
- Format Version
- The first line of the configuration file specifies the format version
- contained in the configuration file.
-
-
- The following entry specifies the format version:
-
- fmt_version x.x
-
-
-
- where x.x is the format version. 1.0 is the only supported version.
-
- Configuration Blocks
- Following the format version, are a succession of configuration (ac-
- tion) blocks that are different for each type of action being config-
- ured. A configuration block always has the following structure:
-
- action {
- name action_name
- module module_name
- params_clause | ""
- cf_clauses
- }
-
- action_name ::= string
- module_name ::= ipgpc | dlcosmk | dscpmk | flowacct | tswtclmt |
- tokenmt
-
- params_clause ::= params {
- parameters
- params_stats | ""
- }
-
- parameters ::= prm_name_value parameters | ""
-
- prm_name_value ::= param_name param_value
-
-
- Modules
- The param_name and the types of param_value are specific to a given
- module.
-
- params_stats ::= global_stats boolean
-
- cf_clauses ::= class_clause cf_clauses |
- filter_clause cf_clauses | ""
-
- class_clause ::= class {
- name class_name
- next_action next_action_name
- class_stats | ""
- }
-
- class_name ::= string
- next_action_name ::= string
- class_stats ::= enable_stats boolean
- boolean ::= TRUE | FALSE
-
- filter_clause ::= filter {
- name filter_name
- class class_name
- parameters
- }
-
- filter_name ::= string
-
-
-
- There must be exactly one configuration block belonging to module
- ipgpc. The action must be named ipgpc.classify. All other actions
- should be reachable from ipgpc by way of parameters of type action or
- the next_action of a class.
-
-
- The set of types that are used for parameters of the different modules
- are:
-
- action ::= string
- protocol ::= 1..255
- port ::= 1..65535
- uint8 ::= 0..255
- uint32 ::= 0..4294967296
- int32 ::= -2147483648..2147483648
- address ::= <see the description section>
- ifname ::= <interface name recognized by SIOGLIFINDEX ioctl>
- enum ::= string | { string_list }
- boolean ::= TRUE | FALSE
- integer_array ::= { range_value_list }
- map_index ::= uint32
- address ::= ip_address | ip_node_name
- user ::= uid | username
- uid ::= 0..65535

- Types
- action
-
- A string of characters with a matching action definition. The char-
- acter string can be up to twenty three characters in length. To al-
- low for spaces the string needs to be enclosed in quotes and cannot
- span lines. Two special actions are pre-defined and can not have an
- explicit action definition. The two pre-defined actions are con-
- tinue and drop. continue causes the packet that is passed to it to
- continue normal processing. drop causes the packet that is passed
- to it to be dropped.
-
-
- address
-
- A machine name or address recognized by getipnodebyname(3C). If a
- machine name is specified, and ip_version has been defined, the
- query is done using that address family. If a machine name is not
- specified and ip_version has not been defined, the query is done
- using the AI_DEFAULT flag to getipnodebyname()(..AF_INET6..). CIDR
- address masks following an IP address are allowed. Specify the CIDR
- address masks as 1-32 (for v4) or 1-128 (for v6). CIDR addresses
- are disallowed for node names.
-
-
- enum
-
- Either one of the supported values or comma delimited list of sup-
- port values, enclosed in curly braces.
-
-
- ifname
-
- A non-NULL, existing interface name recognized by the SIOGLIFINDEX
- socket ioctl.
-
-
- integer_array
-
- A comma delimited set of range/value pairs, enclosed in curly
- braces.
-
- Specify range in the format x-y, where x and y are integers that
- denote the range of array indexes to which the value applies. The
- minimum value for both x and y is 0. The maximum value for x is
- particular to the parameter. Any array indexes not referred to in
- the set of ranges are left at their previous value.
-
-
- map_index
-
- A non-negative integer used as an index into any maps associated
- with a parameter of this type.
-
- The maximum value of this type is dictated by the number of entries
- in the associated maps. The index starts at 0.
-
-
- port
-
- Either a service name recognized by getservbyname(3C) or an integer
- 1-65535.
-
-
- protocol
-
- Either a protocol name recognized by getprotobyname(3C) or an inte-
- ger 1-255.
-
-
- string
-
- A character string. Enclose string in quotes. string cannot span
- multiple lines.
-
-
- user
-
- Either a valid user ID or username for the system that is being
- configured.
-
-
- Parameters
- The configuration file can contain the following parameters
-
- color_aware
-
- A value of TRUE or FALSE, indicating whether or not the configured
- action takes account of the previous packet coloring when classify-
- ing.
-
-
- color_map
-
- An integer array that defines which values of the dscp field corre-
- spond with which colors for when the color_aware parameter is set
- to TRUE.
-
-

- The committed burst size in bits.
-
-
- committed_rate
-
- The committed rate in bits per second.
-
-
- cos
-
- The value used to determine the underlying driver level priority
- applied to the packet which is defined in 802.1D.
-
-
- daddr
-
- The destination address of the datagram.
-
-
- direction
-
- The value used to build a filter matching only part of the traffic.
-
- This parameter is of type enum with valid values of LOCAL_IN (local
- bound traffic), LOCAL_OUT (local sourced traffic), FWD_IN (for-
- warded traffic entering the system), and FWD_OUT (forwarded traffic
- exiting the system).
-
-
- dport
-
- The destination port of the datagram.
-
-
- dscp_detailed_stats
-
- A value of TRUE or FALSE that determines whether detailed statis-
- tics are switched on for this dscp action.
-
- Specify TRUE to switch on or FALSE to switch off.
-
-
- dscp_map
-
- The integer_array that supplies the values that IP packets with a
- given dscp value have their dscp re-marked with.
-
- The existing value is used to index into the array where the new
- value is taken from. The array is of size 64, meaning valid indexes
- are 0-63 and valid values are also 0-63.
-
-
- dsfield
-
- The DS field of the IP datagram header. This is an 8-bit value,
- with each bit position corresponding with the same one in the
- header; this enables matches to be done on the CU bits. If you
- specify this parameter, you must also specify the dsfield_mask pa-
- rameter.
-
-
- dsfield_mask
-
- The mask applied to the dsfield parameter to determine the bits
- against which to match. This is an 8-bit value, with each bit posi-
- tion corresponding with the same one in the dsfield parameter.
-
-
- global_stats
-
- A value of TRUE or FALSE to enable or disable the statistic collec-
- tion for this action.
-
-
- green_action_name
-
- The action to be executed for packets that are deemed to be green.
-
-
- if_name
-
- The name of an interface recognized by the SIOGLIFINDEX ioctl. This
- parameter is of type ifname.
-
-
- ip_version
-
- This parameter is of type enum and has valid values of V4 and V6.
-
- If it is set to V4 only then only ipv4 addresses are requested for
- a specified hostname. If it is set to V6, only ipv6 addresses are
- returned if there are any, otherwise v4 mapped v6 addresses are re-
- turned. If both V4 and V6 are specified, or if ip_version is not
- specified, then both ipv4 and ipv6 addresses are requested for a
- specified hostname.
-
-
- max_limit
-
- The maximum number of flow entries present at one time in the
- flowacct actions in the memory resident table.
-
-
- next_action
-
- The action to be executed when the current action is complete.
-
- This value can be either the name of an action defined in the con-
- figuration file, or one of the two special action types: drop and
- continue.
-
-
- peak_burst
-
- The peak burst size, for a two rate meter, or excess burst size,
- for a single rate meter, in bits.
-
-
- peak_rate
-
- The peak rate in bits per second.
-
-
- precedence
-
- An integer that is used to order filters. If there are two matching
- filters that have the same priority value, the one with the lower
- precedence value is the one matched. This parameter should be used
- because the order of the filters in a configuration file has no in-
- fluence on their relative precedence.
-
-
- priority
-
- An integer that represents the relative priority of a filter. If
- there are two matching filters, the one with the higher priority
- value is the one matched. Multiple filters can have the same prior-
- ity.

- projid
-
- The project ID of the process sending the data. This value is al-
- ways -1 for received traffic.
-
-
- protocol
-
- The Upper Layer Protocol against which this entry is matched.
-
-

-
- The action to be executed for packets that are determined to be
- red.
-
-
- saddr
-
- The source address of the datagram.
-
-
- sport
-
- The source port of the datagram.
-
-
- timeout
-
- The timeout in milliseconds after which flows are written to the
- accounting file.
-
-
- timer
-
- The period in milliseconds at which timed-out flows are checked
- for.

-EXAMPLES
- Example 1 Sending All Traffic From eng to the AF 1 Class of Service
-
-
-
- This example sends all traffic from eng to the AF 1 class of service.
- It is documented in four separate steps:
-
-
-
- The following step creates a tokenmt action with three outcomes:
-
-
- #meter for class 1.
- action {
- name AF_CL1
- module tokenmt
- params{
- committed_rate 64
- committed_burst 75
- peak_burst 150
- global_stats TRUE
- red_action_name drop
- yellow_action_name markAF12
- green_action_name markAF11
- }
- }
-
-
-
-
- The following step creates two dscpmk actions:
-
-
- #class 1, low drop precedence.
- action {
- name markAF11
- module dscpmk
- params{
- dscp_map {0-63:28}
- dscp_detailed_stats TRUE
- global_stats TRUE
- next_action acct1
- }
- }
- #class 1, medium drop precedence.
- action {
- name markAF12
- module dscpmk
- params {
- dscp_map {0-63:30}
- dscp_detailed_stats TRUE
- global_stats TRUE
- next_action acct1
- }
- }
-
-
-
-
- The following step creates an accounting action:
-
-
- #billing for transmitted class 1 traffic.
- action {
- name acct1
- module flowacct
- params {
- timer 10
- timeout 30
- global_stats TRUE
- max_limit 1024
- next_action continue
- }
- }
-
-
-
-
- The following step creates an ipgpc action:
-
-
- #traffic from eng sent, traffic from ebay dropped.
- action {
- name ipgpc.classify
- module ipgpc
- class {
- name from_eng
- enable_stats TRUE
- next_action AF_CL1
- }
- class {
- name from_ebay
- enable_stats TRUE
- next_action drop
- }
-
- filter {
- name from_eng
- saddr eng-subnet
- class from_eng
- }
- filter {
- name from_ebay
- saddr ebay-subnet
- class from_ebay
- }
- }
-
-
-FILES
- /etc/inet/ipqosinit.conf
-
- Contains the IPQoS configuration loaded at boot time. If this file
- exists, it is read by the svc:/network/ipqos:default service.
-
-
- /etc/inet/ipqosconf.1.sample
-
- Sample configuration file for an application server.
-
-
- /etc/inet/ipqosconf.2.sample
-
- Sample configuration file that meters the traffic for a specified
- application
-
-
- /etc/inet/ipqosconf.3.sample
-
- Sample configuration file that marks the Ethernet headers of web
- traffic with a given user priority
-

-
- +------------------------------+-----------------------------+
- | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE |

-
-DIAGNOSTICS
- ipqosconf sends messages to syslog of facility user, severity notice
- when any changes are made to the IPQoS configuration.
-
-
- Errors that occur during an ipqosconf operation send an error message
- to the console by default. For the application of a new configuration
- if the -s option is set then these messages are sent to syslog as fa-
- cility user, severity error instead. If the -v option is present during
- an application then all error and change notification messages are sent
- to the console as well as their default destination.
-
-NOTES
- The ipqos service is controlled through the service management facility
- (SMF) under the service identifier:
-
- svc:/network/ipqos:default
-
-
-
- Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or
- requesting restart, can be performed using svcadm(8). The service's
- status can be queried using the svcs(1) command.
-
-
- The IPQoS facility may be removed in a future release. Users are en-
- couraged to migrate to dladm(8), dlstat(8), flowadm(8), and flow-
- stat(8), which support similar bandwidth resource control features.

+ If no FMRI is specified, then this option does a holistic check of
+ all name service SMF services and all associated configuration
+ properties reporting any issues it detects.
+
+ In general, all naming service components will attempt to start up
+ and function, even in a diminished capacity if there are configura-
+ tion errors. Those components will generally ignore any configura-
+ tion that contains errors and fall back to hardwired defaults. For
+ example, if LDAP lookups are configured, but the

+ lookups will still function but LDAP lookups will not be processed.
+ When this check operation detects this or any other configuration
+ issue, it will report the problem so that the administrator can ad-
+ dress it.
+
+ The check command is executed by the
+ svc:/system/check/name-services SMF service which logs its output
+ and depending on the exit code may enter into a degraded state as
+ an indication that there are configuration issues. Administrators
+ can then evaluate the log and decide on corrective actions. The

+ any change to name service configuration with an associated SMF
