VLAN Type Support For a link of type VLAN the following additional arguments are supported:

ip link add link DEVICE name NAME type vlan [ protocol VLAN_PROTO ] id VLANID [ reorder_hdr { on | off } ] [ gvrp { on | off } ] [ mvrp { on | off } ] [ loose_binding { on | off } ] [ bridge_binding { on | off } ] [ ingress-qos- map QOS-MAP ] [ egress-qos-map QOS-MAP ]

protocol VLAN_PROTO - either 802.1Q or 802.1ad.

id VLANID - specifies the VLAN Identifier to use. Note that numbers with a leading " 0 " or " 0x " are interpreted as octal or hexadecimal, respectively.

reorder_hdr { on | off } - specifies whether ethernet headers are reordered or not (default is on).

If reorder_hdr is on then VLAN header will be not inserted immediately but only before passing to the physical device (if this device does not support VLAN offloading), the similar on the RX direction - by default the packet will be untagged before being received by VLAN device. Reordering allows to accelerate tagging on egress and to hide VLAN header on ingress so the packet looks like regular Ethernet packet, at the same time it might be confusing for packet capture as the VLAN header does not exist within the packet.

VLAN offloading can be checked by ethtool(8):

ethtool -k <phy_dev> | grep tx-vlan- offload

where <phy_dev> is the physical device to which VLAN device is bound.

gvrp { on | off } - specifies whether this VLAN should be registered using GARP VLAN Registration Protocol.

mvrp { on | off } - specifies whether this VLAN should be registered using Multiple VLAN Registration Protocol.

loose_binding { on | off } - specifies whether the VLAN device state is bound to the physical device state.

bridge_binding { on | off } - specifies whether the VLAN device link state tracks the state of bridge ports that are members of the VLAN.

ingress-qos-map QOS-MAP - defines a mapping of VLAN header prio field to the Linux internal packet priority on incoming frames. The format is FROM:TO with multiple mappings separated by spaces.

egress-qos-map QOS-MAP - defines a mapping of Linux internal packet priority to VLAN header prio field but for outgoing frames. The format is the same as for ingress-qos-map.

Linux packet priority can be set by iptables(8):

iptables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING [...] -j CLASSIFY --set-class 0:4

and this "4" priority can be used in the egress qos mapping to set VLAN prio "5":

ip link set veth0.10 type vlan egress 4:5

A := Indicates that the group policy has already been applied to this packet. Policies MUST NOT be applied by devices when the A bit is set.

Format of lower 16 bits of packet mark (policy ID):

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Group Policy ID | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

Example: iptables -A OUTPUT [...] -j MARK --set-mark 0x800FF

[i|o]key KEY | no[i|o]key - use keyed GRE with key KEY. KEY is either a number or an IPv4 address- like dotted quad. The key parameter specifies the same key to use in both directions. The ikey and okey parameters specify different keys for input and output.

[no][i|o]csum - generate/require checksums for tunneled packets. The ocsum flag calculates checksums for outgoing packets. The icsum flag requires that all input packets have the correct checksum. The csum flag is equivalent to the combination icsum ocsum .

ttl TTL - specifies the TTL value to use in outgoing packets.

tos TOS - specifies the TOS value to use in outgoing packets.

The value inherit causes the field to be copied from the original IP header. The values inherit/STRING or inherit/00..ff will set the field to STRING or 00..ff when tunneling non-IP packets. The default value is 00.

external - make this tunnel externally controlled (or not, which is the default). In the kernel, this is referred to as collect metadata mode. This flag is mutually exclusive with the remote, local, seq, key, csum, hoplimit, encaplimit, flowlabel and tclass options.

[no]udp6zerocsumrx - allow incoming UDP packets over IPv6 with zero checksum field.

Bareudp Type Support For a link of type Bareudp the following additional arguments are supported:

ip link add DEVICE type bareudp dstport PORT ethertype ETHERTYPE [ srcportmin SRCPORTMIN ] [ [no]multiproto ]

dstport PORT - specifies the destination port for the UDP tunnel.

ethertype ETHERTYPE - specifies the ethertype of the L3 protocol being tunnelled.

srcportmin SRCPORTMIN - selects the lowest value of the UDP tunnel source port range.

[no]multiproto - activates support for protocols similar to the one specified by ethertype. When ETHERTYPE is "mpls_uc" (that is, unicast MPLS), this allows the tunnel to also handle multicast MPLS. When ETHERTYPE is "ipv4", this allows the tunnel to also handle IPv6. This option is disabled by default.

MACVLAN and MACVTAP Type Support For a link of type MACVLAN or MACVTAP the following additional arguments are supported:

ip link add link DEVICE name NAME type { macvlan | macvtap } mode { private | vepa | bridge | passthru [ nopromisc ] | source }

type { macvlan | macvtap } - specifies the link type to use. macvlan creates just a virtual interface, while macvtap in addition creates a character device /dev/tapX to be used just like a tuntap device.

mode private - Do not allow communication between macvlan instances on the same physical interface, even if the external switch supports hairpin mode.

mode vepa - Virtual Ethernet Port Aggregator mode. Data from one macvlan instance to the other on the same physical interface is transmitted over the physical interface. Either the attached switch needs to support hairpin mode, or there must be a TCP/IP router forwarding the packets in order to allow communication. This is the default mode.

mode bridge - In bridge mode, all endpoints are directly connected to each other, communication is not redirected through the physical interface's peer.

mode passthru [ nopromisc ] - This mode gives more power to a single endpoint, usually in macvtap mode. It is not allowed for more than one endpoint on the same physical interface. All traffic will be forwarded to this endpoint, allowing virtio guests to change MAC address or set promiscuous mode in order to bridge the interface or create vlan interfaces on top of it. By default, this mode forces the underlying interface into promiscuous mode. Passing the nopromisc flag prevents this, so the promisc flag may be controlled using standard tools.

mode source - allows one to set a list of allowed mac address, which is used to match against source mac address from received frames on underlying interface. This allows creating mac based VLAN associations, instead of standard port or tag based. The feature is useful to deploy 802.1x mac based behavior, where drivers of underlying interfaces doesn't allows that.

High-availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR) Support For a link of type HSR the following additional arguments are supported:

ip link add link DEVICE name NAME type hsr slave1 SLAVE1-IF slave2 SLAVE2-IF [ supervision ADDR-BYTE ] [ version { 0 | 1 } [ proto { 0 | 1 } ]

type hsr - specifies the link type to use, here HSR.

slave1 SLAVE1-IF - Specifies the physical device used for the first of the two ring ports.

slave2 SLAVE2-IF - Specifies the physical device used for the second of the two ring ports.

supervision ADDR-BYTE - The last byte of the multicast address used for HSR supervision frames. Default option is "0", possible values 0-255.

version { 0 | 1 } - Selects the protocol version of the interface. Default option is "0", which corresponds to the 2010 version of the HSR standard. Option "1" activates the 2012 version.

proto { 0 | 1 } - Selects the protocol at the interface. Default option is "0", which corresponds to the HSR standard. Option "1" activates the Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP).

if_id IF-ID - specifies the hexadecimal lookup key used to send traffic to and from specific xfrm policies. Policies must be configured with the same key. If not set, the key defaults to 0 and will match any policies which similarly do not have a lookup key configuration.

ip link delete - delete virtual link dev DEVICE specifies the virtual device to act operate on.

group GROUP specifies the group of virtual links to delete. Group 0 is not allowed to be deleted since it is the default group.

type TYPE specifies the type of the device.

ip link set - change device attributes Warning: If multiple parameter changes are requested, ip aborts immediately after any of the changes have failed. This is the only case when ip can move the system to an unpredictable state. The solution is to avoid changing several parameters with one ip link set call. The modifier change is equivalent to set.

dev DEVICE DEVICE specifies network device to operate on. When configuring SR-IOV Virtual Function (VF) devices, this keyword should specify the associated Physical Function (PF) device.

group GROUP GROUP has a dual role: If both group and dev are present, then move the device to the specified group. If only a group is specified, then the command operates on all devices in that group.

up and down change the state of the device to UP or DOWN.

arp on or arp off change the NOARP flag on the device.

multicast on or multicast off change the MULTICAST flag on the device.

allmulticast on or allmulticast off change the ALLMULTI flag on the device. When enabled, instructs network driver to retrieve all multicast packets from the network to the kernel for further processing.

promisc on or promisc off change the PROMISC flag on the device. When enabled, activates promiscuous operation of the network device.

trailers on or trailers off change the NOTRAILERS flag on the device, NOT used by the Linux and exists for BSD compatibility.

protodown on or protodown off change the PROTODOWN state on the device. Indicates that a protocol error has been detected on the port. Switch drivers can react to this error by doing a phys down on the switch port.

protodown_reason PREASON on or off set PROTODOWN reasons on the device. protodown reason bit names can be enumerated under /etc/iproute2/protodown_reasons.d/. possible reasons bits 0-31

dynamic on or dynamic off change the DYNAMIC flag on the device. Indicates that address can change when interface goes down (currently NOT used by the Linux).

name NAME change the name of the device. This operation is not recommended if the device is running or has some addresses already configured.

txqueuelen NUMBER

txqlen NUMBER change the transmit queue length of the device.

mtu NUMBER change the MTU of the device.

address LLADDRESS change the station address of the interface.

broadcast LLADDRESS

brd LLADDRESS

peer LLADDRESS change the link layer broadcast address or the peer address when the interface is POINTOPOINT.

netns NETNSNAME | PID move the device to the network namespace associated with name NETNSNAME or process PID.

Some devices are not allowed to change network namespace: loopback, bridge, wireless. These are network namespace local devices. In such case ip tool will return "Invalid argument" error. It is possible to find out if device is local to a single network namespace by checking netns- local flag in the output of the ethtool:

ethtool -k DEVICE

To change network namespace for wireless devices the iw tool can be used. But it allows to change network namespace only for physical devices and by process PID.

alias NAME give the device a symbolic name for easy reference.

group GROUP specify the group the device belongs to. The available groups are listed in file /etc/iproute2/group.

vf NUM specify a Virtual Function device to be configured. The associated PF device must be specified using the dev parameter.

mac LLADDRESS - change the station address for the specified VF. The vf parameter must be specified.

vlan VLANID - change the assigned VLAN for the specified VF. When specified, all traffic sent from the VF will be tagged with the specified VLAN ID. Incoming traffic will be filtered for the specified VLAN ID, and will have all VLAN tags stripped before being passed to the VF. Setting this parameter to 0 disables VLAN tagging and filtering. The vf parameter must be specified.

qos VLAN-QOS - assign VLAN QOS (priority) bits for the VLAN tag. When specified, all VLAN tags transmitted by the VF will include the specified priority bits in the VLAN tag. If not specified, the value is assumed to be 0. Both the vf and vlan parameters must be specified. Setting both vlan and qos as 0 disables VLAN tagging and filtering for the VF.

proto VLAN-PROTO - assign VLAN PROTOCOL for the VLAN tag, either 802.1Q or 802.1ad. Setting to 802.1ad, all traffic sent from the VF will be tagged with VLAN S-Tag. Incoming traffic will have VLAN S-Tags stripped before being passed to the VF. Setting to 802.1ad also enables an option to concatenate another VLAN tag, so both S-TAG and C-TAG will be inserted/stripped for outgoing/incoming traffic, respectively. If not specified, the value is assumed to be 802.1Q. Both the vf and vlan parameters must be specified.

rate TXRATE -- change the allowed transmit bandwidth, in Mbps, for the specified VF. Setting this parameter to 0 disables rate limiting. vf parameter must be specified. Please use new API max_tx_rate option instead.

max_tx_rate TXRATE - change the allowed maximum transmit bandwidth, in Mbps, for the specified VF. Setting this parameter to 0 disables rate limiting. vf parameter must be specified.

min_tx_rate TXRATE - change the allowed minimum transmit bandwidth, in Mbps, for the specified VF. Minimum TXRATE should be always <= Maximum TXRATE. Setting this parameter to 0 disables rate limiting. vf parameter must be specified.

spoofchk on|off - turn packet spoof checking on or off for the specified VF.

query_rss on|off - toggle the ability of querying the RSS configuration of a specific VF. VF RSS information like RSS hash key may be considered sensitive on some devices where this information is shared between VF and PF and thus its querying may be prohibited by default.

state auto|enable|disable - set the virtual link state as seen by the specified VF. Setting to auto means a reflection of the PF link state, enable lets the VF to communicate with other VFs on this host even if the PF link state is down, disable causes the HW to drop any packets sent by the VF.

trust on|off - trust the specified VF user. This enables that VF user can set a specific feature which may impact security and/or performance. (e.g. VF multicast promiscuous mode)

node_guid eui64 - configure node GUID for Infiniband VFs.

port_guid eui64 - configure port GUID for Infiniband VFs.

xdp object | pinned | off set (or unset) a XDP ("eXpress Data Path") BPF program to run on every packet at driver level. ip link output will indicate a xdp flag for the networking device. If the driver does not have native XDP support, the kernel will fall back to a slower, driver-independent "generic" XDP variant. The ip link output will in that case indicate xdpgeneric instead of xdp only. If the driver does have native XDP support, but the program is loaded under xdpgeneric object | pinned then the kernel will use the generic XDP variant instead of the native one. xdpdrv has the opposite effect of requestsing that the automatic fallback to the generic XDP variant be disabled and in case driver is not XDP-capable error should be returned. xdpdrv also disables hardware offloads. xdpoffload in ip link output indicates that the program has been offloaded to hardware and can also be used to request the "offload" mode, much like xdpgeneric it forces program to be installed specifically in HW/FW of the apater.

off (or none ) - Detaches any currently attached XDP/BPF program from the given device.

object FILE - Attaches a XDP/BPF program to the given device. The FILE points to a BPF ELF file (f.e. generated by LLVM) that contains the BPF program code, map specifications, etc. If a XDP/BPF program is already attached to the given device, an error will be thrown. If no XDP/BPF program is currently attached, the device supports XDP and the program from the BPF ELF file passes the kernel verifier, then it will be attached to the device. If the option -force is passed to ip then any prior attached XDP/BPF program will be atomically overridden and no error will be thrown in this case. If no section option is passed, then the default section name ("prog") will be assumed, otherwise the provided section name will be used. If no verbose option is passed, then a verifier log will only be dumped on load error. See also EXAMPLES section for usage examples.

section NAME - Specifies a section name that contains the BPF program code. If no section name is specified, the default one ("prog") will be used. This option is to be passed with the object option.

verbose - Act in verbose mode. For example, even in case of success, this will print the verifier log in case a program was loaded from a BPF ELF file.

pinned FILE - Attaches a XDP/BPF program to the given device. The FILE points to an already pinned BPF program in the BPF file system. The option section doesn't apply here, but otherwise semantics are the same as with the option object described already.

master DEVICE set master device of the device (enslave device).

nomaster unset master device of the device (release device).

addrgenmode eui64|none|stable_secret|random set the IPv6 address generation mode

eui64 - use a Modified EUI-64 format interface identifier

none - disable automatic address generation

stable_secret - generate the interface identifier based on a preset /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/{default,DEVICE}/stable_secret

random - like stable_secret, but auto-generate a new random secret if none is set

link-netnsid set peer netnsid for a cross-netns interface

type ETYPE TYPE_ARGS Change type-specific settings. For a list of supported types and arguments refer to the description of ip link add above. In addition to that, it is possible to manipulate settings to slave devices:

Bridge Slave Support For a link with master bridge the following additional arguments are supported:

ip link set type bridge_slave [ fdb_flush ] [ state STATE ] [ priority PRIO ] [ cost COST ] [ guard { on | off } ] [ hairpin { on | off } ] [ fastleave { on | off } ] [ root_block { on | off } ] [ learning { on | off } ] [ flood { on | off } ] [ proxy_arp { on | off } ] [ proxy_arp_wifi { on | off } ] [ mcast_router MULTICAST_ROUTER ] [ mcast_fast_leave { on | off} ] [ mcast_flood { on | off } ] [ mcast_to_unicast { on | off } ] [ group_fwd_mask MASK ] [ neigh_suppress { on | off } ] [ vlan_tunnel { on | off } ] [ isolated { on | off } ] [ backup_port DEVICE ] [ nobackup_port ]

fdb_flush - flush bridge slave's fdb dynamic entries.

state STATE - Set port state. STATE is a number representing the following states: 0 (disabled), 1 (listening), 2 (learning), 3 (forwarding), 4 (blocking).

priority PRIO - set port priority (allowed values are between 0 and 63, inclusively).

cost COST - set port cost (allowed values are between 1 and 65535, inclusively).

guard { on | off } - block incoming BPDU packets on this port.

hairpin { on | off } - enable hairpin mode on this port. This will allow incoming packets on this port to be reflected back.

fastleave { on | off } - enable multicast fast leave on this port.

root_block { on | off } - block this port from becoming the bridge's root port.

learning { on | off } - allow MAC address learning on this port.

flood { on | off } - open the flood gates on this port, i.e. forward all unicast frames to this port also. Requires proxy_arp and proxy_arp_wifi to be turned off.

proxy_arp { on | off } - enable proxy ARP on this port.

proxy_arp_wifi { on | off } - enable proxy ARP on this port which meets extended requirements by IEEE 802.11 and Hotspot 2.0 specifications.

mcast_router MULTICAST_ROUTER - configure this port for having multicast routers attached. A port with a multicast router will receive all multicast traffic. MULTICAST_ROUTER may be either 0 to disable multicast routers on this port, 1 to let the system detect the presence of of routers (this is the default), 2 to permanently enable multicast traffic forwarding on this port or 3 to enable multicast routers temporarily on this port, not depending on incoming queries.

mcast_fast_leave { on | off } - this is a synonym to the fastleave option above.

mcast_flood { on | off } - controls whether a given port will flood multicast traffic for which there is no MDB entry.

mcast_to_unicast { on | off } - controls whether a given port will replicate packets using unicast instead of multicast. By default this flag is off.

neigh_suppress { on | off } - controls whether neigh discovery (arp and nd) proxy and suppression is enabled on the port. By default this flag is off.

vlan_tunnel { on | off } - controls whether vlan to tunnel mapping is enabled on the port. By default this flag is off.

backup_port DEVICE - if the port loses carrier all traffic will be redirected to the configured backup port

nobackup_port - removes the currently configured backup port

Bonding Slave Support For a link with master bond the following additional arguments are supported:

ip link set type bond_slave [ queue_id ID ]

queue_id ID - set the slave's queue ID (a 16bit unsigned value).

MACVLAN and MACVTAP Support Modify list of allowed macaddr for link in source mode.

ip link set type { macvlan | macvap } [ macaddr COMMAND MACADDR ... ]

Commands: add - add MACADDR to allowed list

set - replace allowed list

del - remove MACADDR from allowed list

flush - flush whole allowed list

ip link show - display device attributes dev NAME (default) NAME specifies the network device to show.

group GROUP GROUP specifies what group of devices to show.

up only display running interfaces.

master DEVICE DEVICE specifies the master device which enslaves devices to show.

vrf NAME NAME speficies the VRF which enslaves devices to show.

type TYPE TYPE specifies the type of devices to show.

Note that the type name is not checked against the list of supported types - instead it is sent as-is to the kernel. Later it is used to filter the returned interface list by comparing it with the relevant attribute in case the kernel didn't filter already. Therefore any string is accepted, but may lead to empty output.

ip link xstats - display extended statistics type TYPE TYPE specifies the type of devices to display extended statistics for.

ip link afstats - display address-family specific statistics dev DEVICE DEVICE specifies the device to display address-family statistics for.

ip link help - display help TYPE specifies which help of link type to display.

GROUP may be a number or a string from the file /etc/iproute2/group which can be manually filled.
