• ping(1M) verifies network connectivity through the Network Layer and reports
round-trip time of communication time between hosts.
• traceroute(1M) traces the path between hosts at the Network Layer.
• The network interface management (nwmgr(1M)) is a command for LAN and RDMA
interfaces.
IPv6 Additions to Network Tracing and Logging
Use nettl to trace traffic through IPv6 Subsystems, or use nettladm. Table 4 below
lists the subsystems available for IPv6 packet tracing.
Table 4 Network Trace Subsystems
Subsystem NameDescription
NS_LS_IPV6IPv6 Packets
NS_LS_ICMPV6ICMPV6 Packets
NS_LS_LOOPBACK6IPv6 Loopback packets
Use netfmt to format trace records captured by nettl from the IPv6 subsystems.
netfmt can also filter nettl output according to the following IPv6 criteria:
