HP-UX IPFilter Version 15.01 Administrator's Guide

-Q interface_name
Queries if IPFilter processing is enabled or disabled for a given
interface. If you specify this option with the -6 option, it queries the
status of IPv6 IPFilter processing; if you specify this option without
the -6 option, it queries the status of IPv4 IPFilter processing.
The -E, -D, and -Q commands let you control IPFilter processing on
a given interface. For example, ipf -D lan0 disables IPv4 IPFilter
processing for traffic on lan0. The command ipf -6 -E lan0
enables IPv6 IPFilter processing on lan0. The ipf -Q lan0
command queries if IPv4 IPFilter processing is enabled or disabled
for lan0.
NOTE: All ipf actions are performed on the active rules file by default. To perform actions on
the inactive rules file, you must specify the -I option.
For a complete list of ipf options and their uses, see the ipf(5) and ipf(8) manpages.
Example
Enter the following command to load a ruleset:
