networkctlsystemdDocumentationZbigniewJędrzejewski-Szmekzbyszek@in.waw.plnetworkctl1networkctlQuery the status of network linksnetworkctlOPTIONSCOMMANDLINKDescriptionnetworkctl may be used to introspect the
state of the network links as seen by
systemd-networkd. Please refer to
systemd-networkd.service8
for an introduction to the basic concepts, functionality, and
configuration syntax.OptionsThe following options are understood:Show all links with status.CommandsThe following commands are understood:listLINK…Show a list of existing links and their status. If no further arguments are specified shows all links,
otherwise just the specified links. Produces output similar to:
IDX LINK TYPE OPERATIONAL SETUP
1 lo loopback carrier unmanaged
2 eth0 ether routable configured
3 virbr0 ether no-carrier unmanaged
4 virbr0-nic ether off unmanaged
4 links listed.statusLINK…Show information about the specified links: type,
state, kernel module driver, hardware and IP address,
configured DNS servers, etc.When no links are specified, an overall network status is shown. Also see the option
.Produces output similar to:
● State: routable
Address: 10.193.76.5 on eth0
192.168.122.1 on virbr0
169.254.190.105 on eth0
fe80::5054:aa:bbbb:cccc on eth0
Gateway: 10.193.11.1 (CISCO SYSTEMS, INC.) on eth0
DNS: 8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4lldpLINK…Show discovered LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) neighbors. If one or more link names are specified
only neighbors on those interfaces are shown. Otherwise shows discovered neighbors on all interfaces. Note
that for this feature to work, LLDP= must be turned on on the specific interface, see
systemd.network5 for
details.Produces output similar to:
LINK CHASSIS ID SYSTEM NAME CAPS PORT ID PORT DESCRIPTION
