If no argument is given to the option, the current default interface will be shown. If an .Ar interface is specified, the interface will be used as the default. If a special keyword .Ic delete is specified, the current default interface will be deleted from the kernel. .It Fl i Ar interface Op Ar flags... View ND information for the specified interface. If additional arguments .Ar flags are given, .Nm sets or clears the specified flags for the interface. Possible flags are as follows. All of the flags can begin with the special character .Ql - , which means the flag should be cleared. .\" .Bl -tag -width Ds -compact .It Xo .Ic nud .Xc turn on or off NUD (Neighbor Unreachability Detection) on the interface. NUD is usually turned on by default. .It Xo .Ic accept_rtadv .Xc Specify whether or not to accept Router Advertisement messages received on the .Ar interface . Note that the kernel does not accept Router Advertisement messages unless the .Va net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv variable is non-0, even if the flag is on. This flag is set to 1 by default. .El .It Fl n Do not try to resolve numeric address to hostname. .It Fl p Show prefix list. .It Fl P Flush all the entries in the prefix list. .It Fl r Show default router list. .It Fl R Flush all the entries in the default router list. .It Fl s Register an NDP entry for a node. The entry will be permanent unless the word .Li temp is given in the command. If the word .Li proxy is given, this system will act as a proxy NDP server, responding to requests for .Ar hostname even though the host address is not its own. .It Fl t Print timestamp on each entries, to make it possible to merge output with .Xr tcpdump 1 . Most useful when used with .Fl A . .El .\" .Sh DIAGNOSTICS The .Nm utility will exit with 0 on success, and non-zero on errors. .\" .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr arp 8 .\" .Sh HISTORY The .Nm utility first appeared in WIDE Hydrangea IPv6 protocol stack kit. .\" .\" .Sh BUGS .\" (to be written)
