lstcpip command

Purpose

Displays the Virtual I/O Server TCP/IP settings and parameters.

Syntax

lstcpip [-interfaces ] [-fmt delimiter]

lstcpip [-state] [-num] [-field] [-fmt delimiter]

lstcpip [-num] [-routtable] [-routinfo] [-state] [-arp]

lstcpip [-stored]

lstcpip [-adapters]

lstcpip [-sockets] [-family {inet | inet6 | unix}]

lstcpip [-namesrv]

lstcpip [ -state [ -field FieldName ...] ] | [ -routtable [ -field FieldName ... ]] [ -fmt delimter ]

lstcpip [-hostname]

Note: If IPv6 is configured on the Virtual I/O Server, the lstcpip command lists an IPv6 address. Due to its size, the IPv6 address spans both the Network and Address fields of the output screen.

Description

The lstcpip command displays the current and stored TCP/IP setting such as IP address, routing table, sockets, name server settings, and so forth.

Flags

Flag name Description
-adapters Lists Ethernet adapters on the system.
-arp Displays the current ARP table entries.
-family Specifies the INET, INET6, or UNIX socket family.
-field Specifies a list of fields to display.
-fmt Divides output by a user-specified delimiter.
-hostname Displays the system hostname.
-interfaces Displays all of the interfaces configured on the system. Specifically, it displays their addresses, network masks, states, and mac addresses.
-namesrv Lists DNS name servers in search order and domain name.
-num Displays numeric output, rather than trying to resolve host names.
-routtable Displays the routing tables.
-routinfo Displays the routing tables, including the user-configured and current costs of each route.
-sockets Displays information about currently open sockets.
-state Displays the current state of all configured interfaces.
-stored Displays stored TCP/IP configuration, which will be applied when the system starts. It will list interface IP addresses, any defined static routes, host names, and DNS info.

Examples

  1. To list the Virtual I/O Server TCP/IP configuration, type:
    lstcpip -stored
  2. To list the current routing table, type:
    lstcpip -routtable
  3. To list open inet sockets, type:
    lstcpip -sockets -family inet
  4. To display the state of all interfaces using a delimiter, type:
    lstcpip -state -fmt “/”
    This command produces output similar to the following:
    sit0/1480/link#2/9.3.126.60/0/0/0/0/0
    sit0/1480/commo126060./austin.ixx.com/0/0/0/0/0
    en2/1500/link#3/0.9.6b.6e.e3.72/871825/0/16305/1/0
    en2/1500/9.3.126/commo126060.austi/871825/0/16305/1/0
    en2/1500/fe80::209:6bff:fe6e:e372/871825/0/16305/1/0
    lo0/16896/link#1/5013/0/5019/0/0
    lo0/16896/127/localhost/5013/0/5019/0/0
    lo0/16896/::1/5013/0/5019/0/0
  5. To display all interface information, type:
    lstcpip -interfaces
    This command produces output similar to the following:
    Name    Address                     mask/Pfx       State     MAC
    
    en2     fe80::209:6bff:fe6e:e372    64            up        00:09:6b:6e:e3:72
    en3     -                           -             down      00:09:6b:6e:e3:73
    et2     -                           -             down      00:09:6b:6e:e3:72
    et3     -                           -             down      00:09:6b:6e:e3:73
    en4     -                           -             down      0e:f0:c0:00:30:04
