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 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 +.B vf +and +.B vlan +parameters must be specified. + +.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. Setting this parameter to 0 disables rate limiting. +.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. +Setting this parameter to 0 disables rate limiting. +.B vf +parameter must be specified. + +.sp +.BI spoofchk " on|off" +- turn packet spoof checking on or off for the specified VF. +.sp +.BI 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. +.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. +.sp +.BI 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) +.sp +.BI node_guid " eui64" +- configure node GUID for Infiniband VFs. +.sp +.BI port_guid " eui64" +- configure port GUID for Infiniband VFs. +.in -8 + +.TP +.B xdp object "|" pinned "|" off +set (or unset) a XDP ("eXpress Data Path") BPF program to run on every +packet at driver level. +.B ip link +output will indicate a +.B 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 +.B ip link +output will in that case indicate +.B xdpgeneric +instead of +.B xdp +only. If the driver does have native XDP support, but the program is +loaded under +.B xdpgeneric object "|" pinned +then the kernel will use the generic XDP variant instead of the native one. +.B 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. +.B xdpdrv +also disables hardware offloads. +.B 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 +.B xdpgeneric +it forces program to be installed specifically in HW/FW of the apater. + +.B off +(or +.B none +) +- Detaches any currently attached XDP/BPF program from the given device. + +.BI object " FILE " +- Attaches a XDP/BPF program to the given device. The +.I 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 +.I -force +is passed to +.B ip +then any prior attached XDP/BPF program will be atomically overridden and +no error will be thrown in this case. If no +.B section +option is passed, then the default section name ("prog") will be assumed, +otherwise the provided section name will be used. If no +.B verbose +option is passed, then a verifier log will only be dumped on load error. +See also +.B EXAMPLES +section for usage examples. + +.BI 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 +.B object +option. + +.BI program " NAME " +- Specifies the BPF program name that need to be attached. When the program +name is specified, the section name parameter will be ignored. This option +only works when iproute2 build with +.B libbpf +support. + +.BI 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. + +.BI pinned " FILE " +- Attaches a XDP/BPF program to the given device. The +.I FILE +points to an already pinned BPF program in the BPF file system. The option +.B section +doesn't apply here, but otherwise semantics are the same as with the option +.B object +described already. + +.TP +.BI master " DEVICE" +set master device of the device (enslave device). + +.TP +.BI nomaster +unset master device of the device (release device). + +.TP +.BI addrgenmode " eui64|none|stable_secret|random" +set the IPv6 address generation mode + +.I eui64 +- use a Modified EUI-64 format interface identifier + +.I none +- disable automatic address generation + +.I stable_secret +- generate the interface identifier based on a preset + /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/{default,DEVICE}/stable_secret + +.I random +- like stable_secret, but auto-generate a new random secret if none is set + +.TP +.BR "link-netnsid " +set peer netnsid for a cross-netns interface + +.TP +.BI type " ETYPE TYPE_ARGS" +Change type-specific settings.

A port with a +multicast router will receive all multicast traffic. +.I MULTICAST_ROUTER +may be either +.B 0 +to disable multicast routers on this port, +.B 1 +to let the system detect the presence of routers (this is the default), +.B 2 +to permanently enable multicast traffic forwarding on this port or +.B 3 +to enable multicast routers temporarily on this port, not depending on incoming +queries. + +.BR mcast_fast_leave " { " on " | " off " }" +- this is a synonym to the +.B fastleave +option above. + +.BR bcast_flood " { " on " | " off " }" +- controls flooding of broadcast traffic on the given port.

By default this flag is off. + +.BI group_fwd_mask " MASK " +- set the group forward mask. This is the bitmask that is applied to +decide whether to forward incoming frames destined to link-local +addresses, ie addresses of the form 01:80:C2:00:00:0X (defaults to +0, ie the bridge does not forward any link-local frames coming on +this port). + +.BR neigh_suppress " { " on " | " off " }" +- controls whether neigh discovery (arp and nd) proxy and suppression +is enabled on the port.
