Configuring Driver Parameters
with ndd
The ndd (1M) utility is useful for changing configuration parameters for the
adapter. Alternately, adapter parameters can be changed by manually editing
the configuration files. This section describes the ndd utility in detail.
Note: Any changes made with ndd are temporary and will be lost when
you reboot the system. To make configuration changes survive the reboot
process, you will need to store driver settings in the
/etc/rc2.d/S99itialt file (see Saving Driver Parameters Beyond
Reboot).
Available Parameters
To view parameters that you can set using the ndd command, type:
# ndd /dev/alt '?'
