IFSTATUS(8)

NAME
ifstatus - check network interface status

SYNOPSIS
ifstatus [ -v ]

DESCRIPTION

Ifstatus checks all network interfaces on the system, and reports any that are in debug or promiscuous mode, which may be a sign of unauthorized access to the system.

If the -v option is specified, ifstatus will print the name of each interface and the hexadecimal representation of the interface's flags word. If ifstatus is run on a Solaris 8 system, the number of promiscuous STREAMS will be listed instead of the flags.

SEE ALSO
ifconfig(8)

BUGS
The ifstatus command can not determine, in Solaris 7 and higher, if an le interface has been placed in promiscuous mode. This is due to the method of placing a given STREAM (struct lestr) into promiscuous mode. Please see the attached README file for further details. This will likely require a change to the le driver to fix.
