ipqosadmin Overview
HP-UX IPQoS has one command-line administration utility, ipqosadmin. It provides options
for all the administrative tasks you need to perform on HP-UX IPQoS.
ipqosadmin Options and Administrative Actions
The options and associated actions ipqosadmin performs are as follows:
Options: Actions:
-state Shows the current state of HP-UX IPQoS. (This is the default if no option is
specified.)
-verify Verifies a configuration file. (Only verifies, no kernel changes.)
-load (Verifies and if successful) Loads a configuration into the kernel, which
replaces any previous configuration.
-unload Unloads current configuration from the kernel.
-showconfig Shows the active configuration.
-showstats Shows statistics on the active configuration.
-loglevel Sets/shows current logging level for HP-UX IPQoS kernel messages.
ipqosadmin Usage Rules
The following rules apply when using ipqosadmin:
• User messages are sent to stdout and errors are sent to stderr.
• Separate arguments with white spaces (blanks, tabs, or new lines).
• Use a backslash (\) line continuation character to continue command input on multiple
lines.
•The ipqosadmin actions cannot be combined. Specify at most, one of the following, as the
first option immediately after ipqosadmin: -state, -verify, -load, -unload,
-showconfig, -showstats or -loglevel. If no option is specified, the default is
equivalent to specifying -state.
• You can run ipqosadmin from the command line.
