NAME
networkctl - Query the status of network links
SYNOPSIS
networkctl [OPTIONS...] COMMAND [LINK...]
DESCRIPTION
networkctl may be used to introspect the state of the network links as seen by
systemd-networkd. Please refer to systemd-networkd.service(8) for an introduction to the
basic concepts, functionality, and configuration syntax.
COMMANDS
The following commands are understood:
list [PATTERN...]
Show a list of existing links and their status. If one ore more PATTERNs are
specified, only links matching one of them are shown. 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.
The operational status is one of the following:
missing
the device is missing
off
the device is powered down
no-carrier
the device is powered up, but it does not yet have a carrier
dormant
the device has a carrier, but is not yet ready for normal traffic
degraded-carrier
for bond or bridge master, one of the bonding or bridge slave network interfaces
is in off, no-carrier, or dormant state
carrier
the link has a carrier, or for bond or bridge master, all bonding or bridge slave
network interfaces are enslaved to the master.
degraded
the link has carrier and addresses valid on the local link configured
enslaved
the link has carrier and is enslaved to bond or bridge master network interface
routable
the link has carrier and routable address configured
The setup status is one of the following:
pending
udev is still processing the link, we don't yet know if we will manage it
failed
networkd failed to manage the link
configuring
in the process of retrieving configuration or configuring the link
configured
link configured successfully
unmanaged
networkd is not handling the link
linger
the link is gone, but has not yet been dropped by networkd
status [PATTERN...]
Show information about the specified links: type, state, kernel module driver,
hardware and IP address, configured DNS servers, etc. If one ore more PATTERNs are
specified, only links matching one of them are shown.
When no links are specified, an overall network status is shown. Also see the option
--all.
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
8.8.4.4
lldp [PATTERN...]
Show discovered LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) neighbors. If one or more
PATTERNs 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 for the specific interface, see systemd.network(5) for details.
Produces output similar to:
LINK CHASSIS ID SYSTEM NAME CAPS PORT ID PORT DESCRIPTION
enp0s25 00:e0:4c:00:00:00 GS1900 ..b........ 2 Port #2
Capability Flags:
o - Other; p - Repeater; b - Bridge; w - WLAN Access Point; r - Router;
t - Telephone; d - DOCSIS cable device; a - Station; c - Customer VLAN;
s - Service VLAN, m - Two-port MAC Relay (TPMR)
1 neighbors listed.
label
Show numerical address labels that can be used for address selection. This is the same
information that ip-addrlabel(8) shows. See RFC 3484[1] for a discussion of address
labels.
Produces output similar to:
Prefix/Prefixlen Label
::/0 1
fc00::/7 5
fec0::/10 11
2002::/16 2
3ffe::/16 12
2001:10::/28 7
2001::/32 6
::ffff:0.0.0.0/96 4
::/96 3
::1/128 0
delete
Deletes virtual netdevs. Takes interface name or index number.
renew
Renew dynamic configurations e.g. addresses received from DHCP server. Takes interface
name or index number.
reconfigure
Reconfigure network interfaces. Takes interface name or index number.
reload
Reload .netdev and .network files. If a new .netdev file is found, then the
corresponding netdev is created. Note that even if an existing .netdev is modified or
removed, systemd-networkd does not update or remove the netdev. If a new, modified or
removed .network file is found, then all interfaces which match the file are
reconfigured.
OPTIONS
The following options are understood:
-a --all
Show all links with status.
-s --stats
Show link statistics with status.
-l, --full
Do not ellipsize the output.
-n, --lines=
When used with status, controls the number of journal lines to show, counting from the
most recent ones. Takes a positive integer argument. Defaults to 10.
-h, --help
Print a short help text and exit.
--version
Print a short version string and exit.
--no-legend
Do not print the legend, i.e. column headers and the footer with hints.
--no-pager
Do not pipe output into a pager.
EXIT STATUS
On success, 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.
