ha_ifdadmin(1m)

NAME
     ha_ifdadmin - network interface administration command

SYNOPSIS
     ha_ifdadmin { -i | -s | -g } input_file output_file

DESCRIPTION
     ha_ifdadmin command provides information about IP addresses from the
     ha_ifd daemon.

     The list of IP addresses (in XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX notation) are specified in
     the input_file. The output information for each IP address is returned by
     the command ha_ifdadmin in the output_file.

     The input file should have each IP address listed in a separate line. The
     information about each IP address in the output is listed in separate
     lines. The IP address information format in the output file depends on
     the request.

     The output_file should be created by the user before using the command.

OPTIONS
     ha_ifdadmin takes following options:

     -i          Gets information about the IP address listed in the
                 input_file. The format of the output file is:

          <IP address> <Network interface name> <Netmask> <Broadcast address>


     The fields are separated by white spaces. If the IP address is not
     configured in the machine, the second field in the output file is set to
     string error.

     -s          Get the status of the IP address specified in the input_file.
                 A non-zero status indicates that either the IP address is not
                 configured on the machine or the network interface on which
                 the IP address is configured is bad. Zero status indicates
                 that IP address is configured in the machine. The format of
                 the output file is:

          <IP address> <status>


     The fields are separated by white spaces. If the IP address status is
     good, the status field is set to zero.

     -g          Get a network interface to configure the IP address. The
                 interface is determined using the list of network interfaces
                 specified in the CDB for the IP address and status of the
                 network interface. All network interfaces that have been
                 declared as sick or down by ha_ifd daemon are not considered.
                 The format of the output file is:

          <IP address> <Network interface name> <Netmask> <Broadcast address>


     If there are no network interfaces available for the IP address, the
     second field in the output field is set to string "error".

     ha_ifdadmin command returns 1 on error and 0 on success.
