.B UP
or
.BR "DOWN" .

.TP
.BR "arp on " or " arp off"

.TP
.BI netns " NETNSNAME " \fR| " PID"
move the device to the network namespace associated with name
.IR "NETNSNAME " or
.RI process " PID".

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

.in +8
.B ethtool -k
.I DEVICE
.in -8

To change network namespace for wireless devices the
.B iw

.IR PID .

.TP
.BI alias " NAME"

.TP
.BI vf " NUM"
specify a Virtual Function device to be configured. The associated PF device
must be specified using the

parameter.

.in +8
.BI mac " LLADDRESS"
- change the station address for the specified VF. The
.B vf
parameter must be specified.

.sp
.BI 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
.B vf
parameter must be specified.

.sp
.BI 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
.B vf
and
.B vlan
parameters must be specified. Setting both
.B vlan
and
.B qos
as 0 disables VLAN tagging and filtering for the VF.

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

.sp
.BI max_tx_rate " TXRATE"
- change the allowed maximum transmit bandwidth, in Mbps, for the specified VF.
.B vf
parameter must be specified.

.sp
.BI min_tx_rate " TXRATE"
- change the allowed minimum transmit bandwidth, in Mbps, for the specified VF.
Minimum TXRATE should be always <= Maximum TXRATE.
.B vf
parameter must be specified.

.sp
.BI spoofchk " on|off"
- turn packet spoof checking on or off for the specified VF.
.sp
.BI 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.
.in -8

.TP
.BI master " DEVICE"
set master device of the device (enslave device).

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

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

.SS  ip link show - display device attributes

.TP
.BI dev " NAME " (default)
.I NAME
specifies the network device to show.
If this argument is omitted all devices in the default group are listed.

.TP
.BI group " GROUP "
.I GROUP
specifies what group of devices to show.

.BR "\-d", " \-details"
output more detailed information.

.TP
