Solaris tcp_keepalive_abort_interval

  • 772

There is a section in Solaris reference manual for tcp_keepalive_abort_interval.

However, it doesn't appear in ndd /dev/tcp \? listing.

# uname -srvmpi
SunOS 5.10 Generic_142909-17 sun4us sparc FJSV,GPUZC-L
# ndd /dev/tcp \? | grep keepalive
tcp_keepalive_interval    (read and write)

Do any of you know where is this parameter?

UPDATE: It seems I was reading the wrong documentation, thank you for pointing it out.

  1. There is a known documentation mistake: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19082-01/819-2724/chapter1-1/index.html

    This parameter is only available with SunOS 5.11 based OSes.

    $ uname -srvmpi 
SunOS 5.11 snv_134 i86pc i386 i86pc
$ ndd /dev/tcp \? | grep keepalive
tcp_keepalive_interval        (read and write)
tcp_keepalive_abort_interval  (read and write)

    it's an OpenSolaris/Solaris 11 parameter, not available in Solaris 10:

    $ uname -a
SunOS openindiana01 5.11 oi_147 i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris

$ ndd -get /dev/tcp tcp_keepalive_abort_interval
480000

  3. Use ipadm/dladm command to show kernel network parameters in solaris 11, ndd command is deprecated.

    To show keepalive variable use:

    ipadm show-prop -p _keepalive_interval tcp

    To save persistent configuration across reboot:

    ipadm set-prop -p _keepalive_interval=600000 tcp

    If you want change it for test purpose, use -t key.
