ip
This is about the ip command in Linux.
Examples
The commands here can be shortened like cisco or other network device commands.
Get the default interface
ip route get 8.8.8.8
Show IP neighbors
ip neighbor show
Show all configured IP addresses
This is more reliable than ifconfig, which sometimes omits entries.
ip -f inet addr
Show information about eth0
This shows information about eth0 and all the virtual interfaces brought up on the physical interface.
ip addr show eth0
Monitor IP changes
ip mon all
Show interfaces that would route to a given network address
ip addr show to 10.1.8.0/24
Show negotiated speeds for all interfaces
ip -o link show | awk -F: '{print $2}' | while read -r X ; do
sudo ethtool ${X} | egrep 'Settings|Speed' | xargs echo
done | column -t -s:
Add a static route
ip route add 192.168.100.0/24 via 0.0.0.0 dev eth0
Set MTU for a specific route
ip route add default via 10.0.0.1 mtu 296
