NAME¶
ip - show / manipulate routing, devices, policy routing and tunnelsSYNOPSIS¶
ip [ OPTIONS ] OBJECT { COMMAND | help }
OPTIONS¶
- -V, -Version
- Print the version of the ip utility and exit.
- -b, -batch <FILENAME>
- Read commands from provided file or standard input and
invoke them. First failure will cause termination of ip.
- -force
- Don't terminate ip on errors in batch mode. If there were
any errors during execution of the commands, the application return code
will be non zero.
- -s, -stats, -statistics
- Output more information. If the option appears twice or
more, the amount of information increases. As a rule, the information is
statistics or some time values.
- -l, -loops <COUNT>
- Specify maximum number of loops the 'ip addr flush' logic
will attempt before giving up. The default is 10. Zero (0) means loop
until all addresses are removed.
- -f, -family <FAMILY>
- Specifies the protocol family to use. The protocol family
identifier can be one of inet, inet6, bridge,
ipx, dnet or link. If this option is not present, the
protocol family is guessed from other arguments. If the rest of the
command line does not give enough information to guess the family,
ip falls back to the default one, usually inet or
any. link is a special family identifier meaning that no
networking protocol is involved.
- -4
- shortcut for -family inet.
- -6
- shortcut for -family inet6.
- -B
- shortcut for -family bridge.
- -D
- shortcut for -family decnet.
- -I
- shortcut for -family ipx.
- -0
- shortcut for -family link.
- -o, -oneline
- output each record on a single line, replacing line feeds
with the '\' character. This is convenient when you want to count
records with wc(1) or to grep(1) the output.
- -r, -resolve
- use the system's name resolver to print DNS names instead
of host addresses.
IP - COMMAND SYNTAX¶
OBJECT¶
- address
- - protocol (IP or IPv6) address on a device.
- addrlabel
- - label configuration for protocol address selection.
- l2tp
- - tunnel ethernet over IP (L2TPv3).
- link
- - network device.
- maddress
- - multicast address.
- monitor
- - watch for netlink messages.
- mroute
- - multicast routing cache entry.
- mrule
- - rule in multicast routing policy database.
- neighbour
- - manage ARP or NDISC cache entries.
- netns
- - manage network namespaces.
- ntable
- - manage the neighbor cache's operation.
- route
- - routing table entry.
- rule
- - rule in routing policy database.
- tcp_metrics/tcpmetrics
- - manage TCP Metrics
- tunnel

COMMAND¶
Specifies the action to perform on the object. The set of possible actions depends on the object type. As a rule, it is possible to add, delete and show (or list ) objects, but some objects do not allow all of these operations or have some additional commands. The help command is available for all objects. It prints out a list of available commands and argument syntax conventions.HISTORY¶
