Sun Microsystems X1150A GigaSwift Ethernet Driver Operating Statistics, # kstat cen grep linkup

■Then you had to get the link status:

#ndd -get /dev/hme link-status

Starting with the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet adapter in the Solarlis 9 operating environment this method of determining the link status is discouraged, and in some cases, it is removed completely as a driver feature.

The new improved approach moves all read-only parameters from the ndd options into kstat. This simplifies getting link status information by allowing you to do it with one simple command.

●To get the link status of a driver, type the following command:

#kstat ce:n grep link_up

link_up 0

where n=instance.
