The nwamadm utility is used to administer NWAM profiles. There are three types of NWAM profiles: Network Configuration Profiles (NCPs), Locations, and External Network Modifiers (ENMs). See nwam(5) for an overview of profiles, and their usage in the NWAM framework.
At any given time, there is one active NCP and one active Location on a system. Enabling an NCP or Location will implicitly disable the current active NCP or Location. Explicitly disabling an NCP or Location has the effect of "turning off" that aspect of the system's network configuration. For example, if the current NCP is disabled and no other NCP is then enabled, there will be no configured links or interfaces on the system.
Conversely, there may be zero or more active ENMs at any given time. Thus enabling or disabling one ENM has no effect on other active ENMs.
The following subcommands are supported.
Enable the specified profile. If the profile name is not unique, the profile
type must be specified to identify the profile to be enabled. Profile type
must be one of ncp, location, or enm.
Disable the specified profile. If the profile name is not unique, the profile
type must be specified to identify the profile to be disabled. Profile type
must be one of ncp, location, or enm.
List all available profiles and their current state. If a specific profile is specified by name, list only the current state of that profile. If the profile name is not unique, all profiles with the given name will be listed; or the profile type may be included to identify a specific profile. If only a type is provided, list all profiles of that type.
