56 .SH DESCRIPTION
57 .LP
58 The \fBnetstat\fR command displays the contents of certain network-related data
59 structures in various formats, depending on the options you select.
60 .LP
61 The \fBnetstat\fR command has the several forms shown in the SYNOPSIS section,
62 above, listed as follows:
63 .RS +4
64 .TP
65 .ie t \(bu
66 .el o
67 The first form of the command (with no required arguments) displays a list of
68 active sockets for each protocol.
69 .RE
70 .RS +4
71 .TP
72 .ie t \(bu
73 .el o
74 The second, third, and fourth forms (\fB-g\fR, \fB-p\fR, and \fB-s\fR options)
75 display information from various network data structures.
76 .RE
77 .RS +4
78 .TP
79 .ie t \(bu

81 The fifth form (\fB-m\fR option) displays STREAMS memory statistics.
82 .RE
83 .RS +4
84 .TP
85 .ie t \(bu
86 .el o
87 The sixth form (\fB-i\fR option) shows the state of the interfaces.
88 .RE
89 .RS +4
90 .TP
91 .ie t \(bu
92 .el o
93 The seventh form (\fB-r\fR option) displays the routing table.
94 .RE
95 .RS +4
96 .TP
97 .ie t \(bu
98 .el o
99 The eighth form (\fB-M\fR option) displays the multicast routing table.
100 .RE
101 .RS +4

105 The ninth form (\fB-D\fR option) displays the state of \fBDHCP\fR on one or all
106 interfaces.
107 .RE
108 .LP
109 These forms are described in greater detail below.
110 .LP
111 With no arguments (the first form), \fBnetstat\fR displays connected sockets
112 for \fBPF_INET\fR, \fBPF_INET6\fR, and \fBPF_UNIX\fR, unless modified otherwise
113 by the \fB-f\fR option.

121 Show the state of all sockets, all routing table entries, or all interfaces,
122 both physical and logical. Normally, listener sockets used by server processes
123 are not shown. Under most conditions, only interface, host, network, and
124 default routes are shown and only the status of physical interfaces is shown.

134 Limit all displays to those of the specified \fIaddress_family\fR. The value of
135 \fIaddress_family\fR can be one of the following:
136 .sp
137 .ne 2
138 .na
139 \fB\fBinet\fR\fR
140 .ad
141 .RS 9n
142 For the \fBAF_INET\fR address family showing IPv4 information.

167 .na
168 \fB\fB-f\fR \fIfilter\fR\fR
169 .ad
170 .sp .6
171 .RS 4n
172 With \fB-r\fR only, limit the display of routes to those matching the specified
173 filter. A filter rule consists of a \fIkeyword\fR:\fIvalue\fR pair. The known
174 keywords and the value syntax are:
175 .sp
176 .ne 2
177 .na
178 \fB\fBaf:\fR{\fBinet\fR|\fBinet6\fR|\fBunix\fR|\fInumber\fR}\fR
179 .ad
180 .sp .6
181 .RS 4n
182 Selects an address family. This is identical to \fB-f\fR \fIaddress_family\fR
183 and both syntaxes are supported.
184 .RE
186 .sp
187 .ne 2
188 .na
189 \fB\fBoutif\fR:{\fIname\fR|\fIifIndex\fR|\fBany\fR|\fBnone\fR}\fR
190 .ad
191 .sp .6
192 .RS 4n
193 Selects an output interface. You can specify the interface by name (such as
194 \fBhme0\fR) or by \fBifIndex\fR number (for example, \fB2\fR). If \fBany\fR is
195 used, the filter matches all routes having a specified interface (anything
196 other than null). If \fBnone\fR is used, the filter matches all routes having a
197 null interface. Note that you can view the index number (\fIifIndex\fR) for an
198 interface with the \fB-a\fR option of \fBifconfig\fR(1M).
199 .RE
201 .sp
202 .ne 2
203 .na
204 \fB\fBdst\fR:{\fIip-address\fR[/\fImask\fR]|\fBany\fR|\fBnone\fR}\fR
205 .ad
206 .sp .6
207 .RS 4n
208 Selects a destination IP address. If specified with a mask length, then any
209 routes with matching or longer (more specific) masks are selected. If \fBany\fR
210 is used, then all but addresses but 0 are selected. If \fBnone\fR is used, then
211 address 0 is selected.
212 .RE
214 .sp
215 .ne 2
216 .na
217 \fB\fBflags:\fR[\fB+ -\fR]?[\fBABDGHLMSU\fR]\fB+\fR\fR
218 .ad
219 .sp .6
220 .RS 4n
221 Selects routes tagged with the specified flags. By default, the flags as
222 specified must be set in order to match. With a leading \fB+\fR, the flags
223 specified must be set but others are ignored. With a leading \fB-\fR, the flags
224 specified must not be set and others are permitted.
225 .RE
227 You can specify multiple instances of \fB-f\fR to specify multiple filters. For
228 example:
229 .sp
230 .in +2
231 .nf
232 % netstat -nr -f outif:hme0 -f outif:hme1 -f dst:10.0.0.0/8
233 .fi
234 .in -2
235 .sp
237 The preceding command displays routes within network 10.0.0.0/8, with mask
238 length 8 or greater, and an output interface of either \fBhme0\fR or
239 \fBhme1\fR, and excludes all other routes.

262 this shows statistics for the physical interfaces. When combined with the

306 routes are shown, but when this option is combined with the \fB-a\fR option,
307 all routes will be displayed, including cache. If you have not set up a
308 multicast route, \fB-ra\fR might not show any multicast routing entries,

797 displays information for only the specified interface.

799 The list consists of the interface name, \fBmtu\fR (maximum transmission unit,
800 or maximum packet size)(see \fBifconfig\fR(1M)), the network to which the
801 interface is attached, addresses for each interface, and counter associated
802 with the interface. The counters show the number of input packets, input
803 errors, output packets, output errors, and collisions, respectively. For
804 Point-to-Point interfaces, the Net/Dest field is the name or address on the
805 other side of the link.
806 .LP
807 If the \fB-a\fR option is specified with either the \fB-i\fR option or the
808 \fB-I\fR option, then the output includes names of the physical interface(s),
809 counts for input packets and output packets for each logical interface, plus
810 additional information.

812 If the \fB-n\fR option is specified, the list displays the IP address instead
813 of the interface name.

1043 .SH NOTES
1044 .LP
1045 When displaying interface information, \fBnetstat\fR honors the
1046 \fBDEFAULT_IP\fR setting in \fB/etc/default/inet_type\fR. If it is set to
1047 \fBIP_VERSION4\fR, then \fBnetstat\fR will omit information relating to IPv6
1048 interfaces, statistics, connections, routes and the like.
1049 .LP
1050 However, you can override the \fBDEFAULT_IP\fR setting in
1051 \fB/etc/default/inet_type\fR on the command-line. For example, if you have used
1052 the command-line to explicitly request IPv6 information by using the
1053 \fBinet6\fR address family or one of the IPv6 protocols, it will override the
1054 \fBDEFAULT_IP\fR setting.
1055 .LP
1056 If you need to examine network status information following a kernel crash, use
1057 the \fBmdb\fR(1) utility on the \fBsavecore\fR(1M) output.
1058 .LP
1059 The \fBnetstat\fR utility obtains TCP statistics from the system by opening
1060 \fB/dev/tcp\fR and issuing queries. Because of this, \fBnetstat\fR might
1061 display an extra, unused connection in \fBIDLE\fR state when reporting
1062 connection status.
1063 .LP
1064 Previous versions of \fBnetstat\fR had undocumented methods for reporting
1065 kernel statistics published using the \fBkstat\fR(7D) facility. This
1066 functionality has been removed. Use \fBkstat\fR(1M) instead.
1067 .LP
1068 \fBnetstat\fR restricts its output to information that is relevant to the zone
1069 in which \fBnetstat\fR runs. (This is true for both shared-IP and exclusive-IP
1070 zones.)
