NAME
ndp -- control/diagnose IPv6 neighbor discovery protocol

SYNOPSIS
ndp [-nt] hostname
ndp [-nt] -a | -c | -p
ndp [-nt] -r
ndp [-nt] -H | -P | -R
ndp [-nt] -A wait
ndp [-nt] -d hostname
ndp [-nt] -f filename
ndp [-nt] -i interface [expressions ...]
ndp [-nt] -I [interface | delete]
ndp [-nt] -s nodename etheraddr [temp] [proxy]

DESCRIPTION
The ndp utility manipulates the address mapping table used by the Neigh-
bor Discovery Protocol (NDP).

-a Dump the currently existing NDP entries. The following informa-
tion will be printed:

Neighbor IPv6 address of the neighbor.

Linklayer Address
Linklayer address of the neighbor. It could be
``(incomplete)'' when the address is not available.

Netif Network interface associated with the neighbor cache
entry.

Expire The time until expiry of the entry. The entry could
become ``permanent'', in which case it will never
expire.

S State of the neighbor cache entry, as a single letter:

N Nostate
W Waitdelete
I Incomplete
R Reachable
S Stale
D Delay
P Probe
? Unknown state (should never happen).

Flags Flags on the neighbor cache entry, in a single letter.
They are: Router, proxy neighbor advertisement (``p'').
The field could be followed by a decimal number, which
means the number of NS probes the node has sent during
the current state.[/quote]
