Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: ndd unsupported
from man ndd:
ndd -h unsupported Display all the unsupported tunable parameters.
This set of parameters are not supported by HP and
modification of these tunable parameters are not
suggested nor recommended. Setting any unsupported
tunable parameters on your system may result in
adverse effects to your networking operations.
unsupported means changing those parameters is "not suggested nor recommended".
HTH.
Best regards,
Fabio

Re: ndd unsupported
So it is very weird then, Why do they put the feature which is not supported ? and besides, why does it work if they are not supported ?
Confused ?

Re: ndd unsupported
Because it might be useful for some customers? Or it may be useful if HP Support is holding your hand for debugging/triage?
But it isn't supported because it hasn't been extensively tested or more importantly, generally useful.
Basically there is difference between "work" and "supported".

Re: ndd unsupported
Yes, for example ip_respond_to_echo_broadcast is a good feature for me ,and I use it in one server to be invisible from incoming broadcast attacks. I hope its side effect is negligible .

Re: ndd unsupported
unsupported ndd parameters are not fully tested with HP-UX or simply HP decided to state them unsupported for other reasons based on system functionalities.
But, as already mentioned, the most important point to be underlined here is that "unsupported" doesn't mean "not-working".

Fabio

Re: ndd unsupported
It really means if you break something with this, HP does not have to provide unlimited support to fix the problem. The support agreements many shops have obligate HP to virtually unlimited spending to resolve the problem, even in excess of the amount of the support agreement.
HP is looking for a way out of ulimited support by making statements like this.
You can call the response center and get "support" for these commands.

Supported, not known to not work -> an HPite may be in trouble
Supported, known to not work -> an HPite is in trouble
