How to Verify That the NWAM Service Is Running

Start a privileged shell.
```
user@opensolaris:-$ pfexec bash
#
```
In this example, the bash shell is selected. You can choose to use any shell with the pfexec command. If you support multiple versions of the Solaris^TM OS, use the standard su – root command. The su command works on all Solaris versions.

Check the status of the NWAM service.

# svcs physical
STATE          STIME    FMRI
online       15:18:18 svc:/network/physical:default
disabled     16:44:23 svc:/network/physical:nwam

The output indicates that the NWAM service is disabled.

Stop the default networking service, and start the NWAM service.

# svcadm disable network/physical:default
# svcadm enable network/physical:nwam
