82.Sh DESCRIPTION
83The
84.Nm
85utility manipulates the address mapping table
86used by Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP).
87.Bl -tag -width Ds
88.It Fl a
89Dump the currently existing NDP entries.
90.It Fl A Ar wait
91Repeat
92.Fl a
93(dump NDP entries)
94every
95.Ar wait
96seconds.
97.It Fl c
98Erase all the NDP entries.
99.It Fl d
100Delete specified NDP entry.
101.It Fl f
102Parse the file specified by
103.Ar filename .
104.It Fl H
105Harmonize consistency between the routing table and the default router
106list; install the top entry of the list into the kernel routing table.
107.It Fl I Op Cm delete | Ar interface
108Shows or specifies the default interface used as the default route when
109there is no default router.
110If no argument is given to the option,
111the current default interface will be shown.
112If an
113.Ar interface
114is specified, the interface will be used as the default.
115If a special keyword
116.Ic delete
117is specified, the current default interface will be deleted from the kernel.
118.It Fl i Ar interface Op Ar flags...
119View ND information for the specified interface.
120If additional arguments
121.Ar flags
122are given,
123.Nm
124sets or clears the specified flags for the interface.
125Possible flags are as follows.
126All of the flags can begin with the
127special character
128.Ql - ,
129which means the flag should be cleared.
130.\"
131.Bl -tag -width Ds -compact
132.It Xo
133.Ic nud
134.Xc
135turn on or off NUD (Neighbor Unreachability Detection) on the
136interface.
137NUD is usually turned on by default.
138.It Xo
139.Ic accept_rtadv
140.Xc
141Specify whether or not to accept Router Advertisement messages
142received on the
143.Ar interface .
144Note that the kernel does not accept Router Advertisement messages
145unless the
146.Va net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv
147variable is non-0, even if the flag is on.
148This flag is set to 1 by default.
149.El
150.It Fl n
151Do not try to resolve numeric address to hostname.
152.It Fl p
153Show prefix list.
154.It Fl P
155Flush all the entries in the prefix list.
156.It Fl r
157Show default router list.
158.It Fl R
159Flush all the entries in the default router list.
160.It Fl s
161Register an NDP entry for a node.
162The entry will be permanent unless the word
163.Li temp
164is given in the command.
165If the word
166.Li proxy
167is given, this system will act as a proxy NDP server,
168responding to requests for
169.Ar hostname
170even though the host address is not its own.
171.It Fl t
172Print timestamp for each entry,
173to make it possible to merge the output with
174.Xr tcpdump 1 .
175Most useful when used with
176.Fl A .
