-
-.SH ip address - protocol address management.
-
-The
-.B address
-is a protocol (IP or IPv6) address attached
-to a network device. Each device must have at least one address
-to use the corresponding protocol. It is possible to have several
-different addresses attached to one device. These addresses are not
-discriminated, so that the term
-.B alias
-is not quite appropriate for them and we do not use it in this document.
-.sp
-The
-.B ip addr
-command displays addresses and their properties, adds new addresses
-and deletes old ones.
-
-.SS ip address add - add new protocol address.
-
-.TP
-.BI dev " NAME"
-the name of the device to add the address to.
-
-.TP
-.BI local " ADDRESS " (default)
-the address of the interface. The format of the address depends
-on the protocol. It is a dotted quad for IP and a sequence of
-hexadecimal halfwords separated by colons for IPv6. The
-.I ADDRESS
-may be followed by a slash and a decimal number which encodes
-the network prefix length.
-
-.TP
-.BI peer " ADDRESS"
-the address of the remote endpoint for pointopoint interfaces.
-Again, the
-.I ADDRESS
-may be followed by a slash and a decimal number, encoding the network
-prefix length. If a peer address is specified, the local address
-cannot have a prefix length. The network prefix is associated
-with the peer rather than with the local address.
-
-.TP
-.BI broadcast " ADDRESS"
-the broadcast address on the interface.
-.sp
-It is possible to use the special symbols
-.B '+'
-and
-.B '-'
-instead of the broadcast address. In this case, the broadcast address
-is derived by setting/resetting the host bits of the interface prefix.
-
-.TP
-.BI label " NAME"
-Each address may be tagged with a label string.
-In order to preserve compatibility with Linux-2.0 net aliases,
-this string must coincide with the name of the device or must be prefixed

-
-.TP
-.BI scope " SCOPE_VALUE"
-the scope of the area where this address is valid.
-The available scopes are listed in file
-.BR "/etc/iproute2/rt_scopes" .
-Predefined scope values are:
-
-.in +8
-.B global
-- the address is globally valid.
-.sp
-.B site
-- (IPv6 only) the address is site local, i.e. it is

-.SS ip address flush - flush protocol addresses
-This command flushes the protocol addresses selected by some criteria.
-
-.PP
-This command has the same arguments as
-.B show.
-The difference is that it does not run when no arguments are given.
-
-.PP
-.B Warning:
-This command (and other
-.B flush
-commands described below) is pretty dangerous. If you make a mistake,
-it will not forgive it, but will cruelly purge all the addresses.
-
-.PP
-With the
-.B -statistics
-option, the command becomes verbose. It prints out the number of deleted
-addresses and the number of rounds made to flush the address list. If
-this option is given twice,
-.B ip addr flush
-also dumps all the deleted addresses in the format described in the
-previous subsection.
-
-.SH ip addrlabel - protocol address label management.
-
-IPv6 address label is used for address selection
-described in RFC 3484. Precedence is managed by userspace,

-.BI label " NUMBER"
-the label for the prefix.
-0xffffffff is reserved.
-.SS ip addrlabel del - delete an address label
-the command deletes an address label entry in the kernel.
-.B Arguments:
-coincide with the arguments of
-.B ip addrlabel add
-but label is not required.
-.SS ip addrlabel list - list address labels
-the command show contents of address labels.
-.SS ip addrlabel flush - flush address labels
-the command flushes the contents of address labels and it does not restore default settings.
-.SH ip neighbour - neighbour/arp tables management.
-
-.B neighbour
-objects establish bindings between protocol addresses and
-link layer addresses for hosts sharing the same link.
-Neighbour entries are organized into tables. The IPv4 neighbour table
-is known by another name - the ARP table.
-
-.P
-The corresponding commands display neighbour bindings
-and their properties, add new neighbour entries and delete old ones.
-
-.SS ip neighbour add - add a new neighbour entry
-.SS ip neighbour change - change an existing entry
-.SS ip neighbour replace - add a new entry or change an existing one
-
-These commands create new neighbour records or update existing ones.

-.BI lladdr " LLADDRESS"
-the link layer address of the neighbour.
-.I LLADDRESS
-can also be
-.BR "null" .
-
-.TP
-.BI nud " NUD_STATE"
-the state of the neighbour entry.
-.B nud
-is an abbreviation for 'Neighbour Unreachability Detection'.
-The state can take one of the following values:
-
-.in +8
-.B permanent
-- the neighbour entry is valid forever and can be only
-be removed administratively.
-.sp
-
-.B noarp
-- the neighbour entry is valid. No attempts to validate
-this entry will be made but it can be removed when its lifetime expires.
-.sp
-
-.B reachable
-- the neighbour entry is valid until the reachability
-timeout expires.
-.sp
-
-.B stale
-- the neighbour entry is valid but suspicious.
-This option to
-.B ip neigh
-does not change the neighbour state if it was valid and the address
-is not changed by this command.
-.in -8
-
-.SS ip neighbour delete - delete a neighbour entry
-This command invalidates a neighbour entry.
-
-.PP
-The arguments are the same as with
-.BR "ip neigh add" ,
-except that
-.B lladdr
-and
-.B nud
-are ignored.
-
-.PP
-.B Warning:
-Attempts to delete or manually change a
-.B noarp
-entry created by the kernel may result in unpredictable behaviour.
-Particularly, the kernel may try to resolve this address even
-on a
-.B NOARP
-interface or if the address is multicast or broadcast.
-
-.SS ip neighbour show - list neighbour entries
-
-This commands displays neighbour tables.
-

-If this option is absent,
-.B ip
-lists all entries except for
-.B none
-and
-.BR "noarp" .
-
-.SS ip neighbour flush - flush neighbour entries
-This command flushes neighbour tables, selecting
-entries to flush by some criteria.
-
-.PP
-This command has the same arguments as
-.B show.
-The differences are that it does not run when no arguments are given,
-and that the default neighbour states to be flushed do not include
-.B permanent
-and
-.BR "noarp" .
-
-.PP
-With the
-.B -statistics
-option, the command becomes verbose. It prints out the number of

-.B local
-- the destinations are assigned to this host. The packets are looped
-back and delivered locally.
-
-.sp
-.B broadcast
-- the destinations are broadcast addresses. The packets are sent as
-link broadcasts.
-
-.sp
-.B throw
-- a special control route used together with policy rules. If such a
-route is selected, lookup in this table is terminated pretending that
-no route was found. Without policy routing it is equivalent to the
-absence of the route in the routing table. The packets are dropped
-and the ICMP message
-.I net unreachable
-is generated. The local senders get an
-.I ENETUNREACH
-error.
-
-.sp
-.B nat
-- a special NAT route. Destinations covered by the prefix
-are considered to be dummy (or external) addresses which require translation
-to real (or internal) ones before forwarding. The addresses to translate to
-are selected with the attribute
-.B Warning:
-Route NAT is no longer supported in Linux 2.6.
-
-
-.BR "via" .
-.sp
-.B anycast
-.RI "- " "not implemented"
-the destinations are
-.I anycast
-addresses assigned to this host. They are mainly equivalent
-to
-.B local
-with one difference: such addresses are invalid when used
-as the source address of any packet.
-
-.sp
-.B multicast
-- a special type used for multicast routing. It is not present in
-normal routing tables.
-.in -8
-
-.P
-.B Route tables:
-Linux-2.x can pack routes into several routing tables identified
-by a number in the range from 1 to 2^31 or by name from the file
-.B /etc/iproute2/rt_tables
-By default all normal routes are inserted into the
-.B main
-table (ID 254) and the kernel only uses this table when calculating routes.
-Values (0, 253, 254, and 255) are reserved for built-in use.
-
-.sp
-Actually, one other table always exists, which is invisible but
-even more important. It is the
-.B local
-table (ID 255). This table
-consists of routes for local and broadcast addresses. The kernel maintains
-this table automatically and the administrator usually need not modify it
-or even look at it.
-
-The multiple routing tables enter the game when
-.I policy routing
-is used.
-
-.SS ip route add - add new route
-.SS ip route change - change route
-.SS ip route replace - change or add new one
-
-.TP
-.BI to " TYPE PREFIX " (default)
-the destination prefix of the route. If

-.B ip
-assumes type
-.BR "unicast" .
-Other values of
-.I TYPE
-are listed above.
-.I PREFIX
-is an IP or IPv6 address optionally followed by a slash and the

-.B default
-- which is equivalent to IP
-.B 0/0
-or to IPv6
-.BR "::/0" .
-
-.TP
-.BI tos " TOS"
-.TP
-.BI dsfield " TOS"
-the Type Of Service (TOS) key. This key has no associated mask and
-the longest match is understood as: First, compare the TOS
-of the route and of the packet. If they are not equal, then the packet
-may still match a route with a zero TOS.
-.I TOS
-is either an 8 bit hexadecimal number or an identifier
-from
-.BR "/etc/iproute2/rt_dsfield" .
-
-.TP
-.BI metric " NUMBER"
-.TP
-.BI preference " NUMBER"
-the preference value of the route.

-table, with the exception of
-.BR local " , " broadcast " and " nat
-routes, which are put into the
-.B local
-table by default.
-
-.TP
-.BI dev " NAME"
-the output device name.
-
-.TP
-.BI via " ADDRESS"
-the address of the nexthop router. Actually, the sense of this field
-depends on the route type. For normal
-.B unicast
-routes it is either the true next hop router or, if it is a direct
-route installed in BSD compatibility mode, it can be a local address
-of the interface. For NAT routes it is the first address of the block
-of translated IP destinations.
-
-.TP
-.BI src " ADDRESS"
-the source address to prefer when sending to the destinations
-covered by the route prefix.
-
-.TP
-.BI realm " REALMID"

-may be a number or a string from the file
-.BR "/etc/iproute2/rt_realms" .
-
-.TP
-.BI mtu " MTU"
-.TP
-.BI "mtu lock" " MTU"
-the MTU along the path to the destination. If the modifier
-.B lock
-is not used, the MTU may be updated by the kernel due to
-Path MTU Discovery. If the modifier
-.B lock
-is used, no path MTU discovery will be tried, all packets
-will be sent without the DF bit in IPv4 case or fragmented
-to MTU for IPv6.
-
-.TP
-.BI window " NUMBER"
-the maximal window for TCP to advertise to these destinations,
-measured in bytes. It limits maximal data bursts that our TCP
-peers are allowed to send to us.
-
-.TP
-.BI rtt " TIME"
-the initial RTT ('Round Trip Time') estimate. If no suffix is
-specified the units are raw values passed directly to the
-routing code to maintain compatibility with previous releases.
-Otherwise if a suffix of s, sec or secs is used to specify
-seconds and ms, msec or msecs to specify milliseconds.

-.BI rttvar " TIME " "(2.3.15+ only)"
-the initial RTT variance estimate. Values are specified as with
-.BI rtt
-above.
-
-.TP
-.BI rto_min " TIME " "(2.6.23+ only)"
-the minimum TCP Retransmission TimeOut to use when communicating with this

-Actual window size is this value multiplied by the MSS
-(``Maximal Segment Size'') for same connection. The default is
-zero, meaning to use the values specified in RFC2414.
-
-.TP
-.BI initrwnd " NUMBER " "(2.6.33+ only)"
-the initial receive window size for connections to this destination.
-Actual window size is this value multiplied by the MSS of the connection.
-The default value is zero, meaning to use Slow Start value.
-
-.TP
-.BI advmss " NUMBER " "(2.3.15+ only)"
-the MSS ('Maximal Segment Size') to advertise to these

-Linux uses a default value calculated from the first hop device MTU.
-(If the path to these destination is asymmetric, this guess may be wrong.)
-

-If the routing protocol ID is not given,
-.B ip assumes protocol
-.B boot
-(i.e. it assumes the route was added by someone who doesn't

-.B show
-shows existing routes.
-.B get
-resolves them and creates new clones if necessary. Essentially,
-.B get
-is equivalent to sending a packet along this path.
-If the

-argument is not given, the kernel creates a route
-to output packets towards the requested destination.
-This is equivalent to pinging the destination
-with a subsequent
-.BR "ip route ls cache" ,
-however, no packets are actually sent. With the
-.B iif
-argument, the kernel pretends that a packet arrived from this interface
-and searches for a path to forward the packet.

-.SS ip route save - save routing table information to stdout
-this command behaves like
-.BR "ip route show"
-except that the output is raw data suitable for passing to
-.BR "ip route restore" .
-
-.SS ip route restore - restore routing table information from stdin
-this command expects to read a data stream as returned from
-.BR "ip route save" .
-It will attempt to restore the routing table information exactly as
-it was at the time of the save, so any translation of information
-in the stream (such as device indexes) must be done first. Any existing
-routes are left unchanged. Any routes specified in the data stream that
-already exist in the table will be ignored.
-
-.SH ip rule - routing policy database management
-
-.BR "Rule" s
-in the routing policy database control the route selection algorithm.
-
-.P
-Classic routing algorithms used in the Internet make routing decisions
-based only on the destination address of packets (and in theory,
-but not in practice, on the TOS field).
-
-.P
-In some circumstances we want to route packets differently depending not only
-on destination addresses, but also on other packet fields: source address,
-IP protocol, transport protocol ports or even packet payload.
-This task is called 'policy routing'.
-
-.P
-To solve this task, the conventional destination based routing table, ordered
-according to the longest match rule, is replaced with a 'routing policy
-database' (or RPDB), which selects routes by executing some set of rules.
-
-.P
-Each policy routing rule consists of a
-.B selector
-and an
-.B action predicate.
-The RPDB is scanned in the order of increasing priority. The selector
-of each rule is applied to {source address, destination address, incoming
-interface, tos, fwmark} and, if the selector matches the packet,
-the action is performed. The action predicate may return with success.
-In this case, it will either give a route or failure indication
-and the RPDB lookup is terminated. Otherwise, the RPDB program
-continues on the next rule.
-
-.P
-Semantically, natural action is to select the nexthop and the output device.
-
-.P
-At startup time the kernel configures the default RPDB consisting of three
-rules:
-
-.TP
-1.
-Priority: 0, Selector: match anything, Action: lookup routing
-table
-.B local
-(ID 255).
-The
-.B local
-table is a special routing table containing
-high priority control routes for local and broadcast addresses.
-.sp
-Rule 0 is special. It cannot be deleted or overridden.
-
-.TP
-2.
-Priority: 32766, Selector: match anything, Action: lookup routing
-table
-.B main
-(ID 254).
-The
-.B main
-table is the normal routing table containing all non-policy
-routes. This rule may be deleted and/or overridden with other
-ones by the administrator.
+utility and exit.
.TP
-3.
-Priority: 32767, Selector: match anything, Action: lookup routing
-table
-.B default
-(ID 253).
-The
-.B default
-table is empty. It is reserved for some post-processing if no previous
-default rules selected the packet.
-This rule may also be deleted.
-
-.P
-Each RPDB entry has additional
-attributes. F.e. each rule has a pointer to some routing
-table. NAT and masquerading rules have an attribute to select new IP
-address to translate/masquerade. Besides that, rules have some
-optional attributes, which routes have, namely
-.BR "realms" .
-These values do not override those contained in the routing tables. They
-are only used if the route did not select any attributes.
-
-.sp
-The RPDB may contain rules of the following types:
-
-.in +8
-.B unicast
-- the rule prescribes to return the route found
-in the routing table referenced by the rule.
-
-.B blackhole
-- the rule prescribes to silently drop the packet.
-
-.B unreachable
-- the rule prescribes to generate a 'Network is unreachable' error.
-
-.B prohibit
-- the rule prescribes to generate 'Communication is administratively
-prohibited' error.
-
-.B nat
-- the rule prescribes to translate the source address
-of the IP packet into some other value.
-.in -8
-
-.SS ip rule add - insert a new rule
-.SS ip rule delete - delete a rule
+.BR "\-h", " \-human", " \-human-readable"
+output statistics with human readable values followed by suffix.

-the type of this rule. The list of valid types was given in the previous
-subsection.
+.BR "\-b", " \-batch " <FILENAME>
+Read commands from provided file or standard input and invoke them.
+First failure will cause termination of ip.
.TP
-.BI from " PREFIX"
-select the source prefix to match.
+.BR "\-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.
.TP
-.BI to " PREFIX"
-select the destination prefix to match.
+.BR "\-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.
.TP
-.BI iif " NAME"
-select the incoming device to match. If the interface is loopback,
-the rule only matches packets originating from this host. This means
-that you may create separate routing tables for forwarded and local
-packets and, hence, completely segregate them.
+.BR "\-d" , " \-details"
+Output more detailed information.
.TP
-.BI oif " NAME"
-select the outgoing device to match. The outgoing interface is only
-available for packets originating from local sockets that are bound to
-a device.
+.BR "\-l" , " \-loops " <COUNT>
+Specify maximum number of loops the 'ip address flush' logic
+will attempt before giving up. The default is 10.

+of the command line does not give enough information to guess the
+family,
+.B ip
+falls back to the default one, usually
+.B inet
+or
+.BR "any" .

+is a special family identifier meaning that no networking protocol
+is involved.

-the routing table identifier to lookup if the rule selector matches.
-It is also possible to use lookup instead of table.
+.B \-B
+shortcut for
+.BR "\-family bridge" .
.TP
-.BI realms " FROM/TO"
-Realms to select if the rule matched and the routing table lookup
-succeeded. Realm
-.I TO

+.B \-M
+shortcut for
+.BR "\-family mpls" .
.TP
-.BI nat " ADDRESS"
-The base of the IP address block to translate (for source addresses).

-In the last case the router does not translate the packets, but
-masquerades them to this address.
-Using map-to instead of nat means the same thing.
-
-.B Warning:
-Changes to the RPDB made with these commands do not become active
-immediately. It is assumed that after a script finishes a batch of
