Question

To probe network adapter properties in IPv4, we can use SIOCGIFONF, SIOCGIFNETMASK etc. On HP-UX and Solaris, the IPv6 equivalents are SIOCGLIFONF, SIOCGLIFNETMASK.

Does AIX support these ioctls (perhaps with an APAR) or are they called something different?

A pointer to a standards document would be helpful - I googled but didn't find anything.

Was it helpful?

Solution

IBM's website implies the standard SIOCGIFCONF on AIX like Linux is IP family independent as it uses struct sockaddr.

OTHER TIPS

Looks like there is a separate SIOCGIFCONF6 that was added to support IPv6. Not sure how to tell what version of AIX may have it.
