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 address +command displays addresses and their properties, adds new addresses +and deletes old ones. + +.SS ip address add - add new protocol address. + +.TP +.BI dev " IFNAME " +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 " LABEL" +Each address may be tagged with a label string. +The maximum allowed total length of label is 15 characters. + +.TP +.BI scope " SCOPE_VALUE" +the scope of the area where this address is valid. +The available scopes are listed in +.BR /usr/share/iproute2/rt_scopes " or " /etc/iproute2/rt_scopes +(has precedence if exists). +Predefined scope values are: + +.in +8 +.B global +- the address is globally valid. +.sp +.B site +- (IPv6 only, deprecated) the address is site local, i.e. it is +valid inside this site. +.sp +.B link +- the address is link local, i.e. it is valid only on this device. +.sp +.B host +- the address is valid only inside this host. +.in -8 + +.TP +.BI metric " NUMBER" +priority of prefix route associated with address. + +.TP +.BI valid_lft " LFT" +the valid lifetime of this address; see section 5.5.4 of +RFC 4862. When it expires, the address is removed by the kernel. +Defaults to +.BR "forever" . + +.TP +.BI preferred_lft " LFT" +the preferred lifetime of this address; see section 5.5.4 +of RFC 4862. When it expires, the address is no longer used for new +outgoing connections. Defaults to +.BR "forever" . + +.TP +.B home +(IPv6 only) designates this address the "home address" as defined in +RFC 6275. + +.TP +.B mngtmpaddr +(IPv6 only) make the kernel manage temporary addresses created from this one as +template on behalf of Privacy Extensions (RFC3041). For this to become active, +the \fBuse_tempaddr\fP sysctl setting has to be set to a value greater than +zero. The given address needs to have a prefix length of 64. This flag allows +to use privacy extensions in a manually configured network, just like if +stateless auto-configuration was active. + +.TP +.B nodad +(IPv6 only) do not perform Duplicate Address Detection (RFC 4862) when +adding this address. + +.TP +.B optimistic +(IPv6 only) When performing Duplicate Address Detection, use the RFC 4429 +optimistic variant. + +.TP +.B noprefixroute +Do not automatically create a route for the network prefix of the added +address, and don't search for one to delete when removing the address. Changing +an address to add this flag will remove the automatically added prefix route, +changing it to remove this flag will create the prefix route automatically. + +.TP +.B autojoin +Joining multicast groups on Ethernet level via +.B "ip maddr" +command does not work if connected to an Ethernet switch that does IGMP +snooping since the switch would not replicate multicast packets on ports that +did not have IGMP reports for the multicast addresses. + +Linux VXLAN interfaces created via +.B "ip link add vxlan" +have the +.B group +option that enables them to do the required join. + +Using the +.B autojoin +flag when adding a multicast address enables similar functionality for +Openvswitch VXLAN interfaces as well as other tunneling mechanisms that need to +receive multicast traffic. + +.TP +.BI proto " ADDRPROTO" +the protocol identifier of this route. +.I ADDRPROTO +may be a number or a string from the file +.BR "/etc/iproute2/rt_addrprotos" . +If the protocol ID is not given, + +.B ip assumes protocol 0. Several protocol +values have a fixed interpretation. Namely: + +.in +8 +.B kernel_lo +- The ::1 address that kernel installs on a loopback netdevice has this + protocol value +.sp + +.B kernel_ra +- IPv6 addresses installed in response to router advertisement messages +.sp + +.B kernel_ll +- Link-local addresses have this protocol value +.sp +.in -8 + +.sp +The rest of the values are not reserved and the administrator is free +to assign (or not to assign) protocol tags. + +.SS ip address delete - delete protocol address +.B Arguments: +coincide with the arguments of +.B ip addr add. +The device name is a required argument. The rest are optional. +If no arguments are given, the first address is deleted. + +.SS ip address show - look at protocol addresses + +.TP +.BI dev " IFNAME " (default) +name of device. + +.TP +.BI scope " SCOPE_VAL" +only list addresses with this scope. + +.TP +.BI to " PREFIX" +only list addresses matching this prefix. + +.TP +.BI label " PATTERN" +only list addresses with labels matching the +.IR "PATTERN" . +.I PATTERN +is a usual shell style pattern. + +.TP +.BI master " DEVICE" +only list interfaces enslaved to this master device. + +.TP +.BI vrf " NAME " +only list interfaces enslaved to this vrf. + +.TP +.BI type " TYPE" +only list interfaces of the given type. + +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. + +.TP +.B up +only list running interfaces. + +.TP +.B nomaster +only list interfaces with no master. + +.TP +.BR dynamic " and " permanent +(IPv6 only) only list addresses installed due to stateless +address configuration or only list permanent (not dynamic) +addresses. These two flags are inverses of each other, so +.BR -dynamic " is equal to " permanent " and " +.BR -permanent " is equal to " dynamic . + +.TP +.B tentative +(IPv6 only) only list addresses which have not yet passed duplicate +address detection. + +.TP +.B -tentative +(IPv6 only) only list addresses which are not in the process of +duplicate address detection currently. + +.TP +.B deprecated +(IPv6 only) only list deprecated addresses. + +.TP +.B -deprecated +(IPv6 only) only list addresses not being deprecated. + +.TP +.B dadfailed +(IPv6 only) only list addresses which have failed duplicate +address detection. + +.TP +.B -dadfailed +(IPv6 only) only list addresses which have not failed duplicate +address detection. + +.TP +.BR temporary " or " secondary +List temporary IPv6 or secondary IPv4 addresses only. The Linux kernel shares a +single bit for those, so they are actually aliases for each other although the +meaning differs depending on address family. + +.TP +.BR -temporary " or " -secondary +These flags are aliases for +.BR primary . + +.TP +.B primary +List only primary addresses, in IPv6 exclude temporary ones. This flag is the +inverse of +.BR temporary " and " secondary . + +.TP +.B -primary +This is an alias for +.BR temporary " or " secondary . + +.TP +.BI proto " ADDRPROTO" +Only show addresses with a given protocol, or those for which the kernel +response did not include protocol. See the corresponding argument to +.B ip addr add +for details about address protocols. + +.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 +.BR show " except that " type " and " master " selectors are not supported." +Another difference is that it does not run when no arguments are given. + +.PP +.B Warning: +This command and other +.B flush +commands are unforgiving. They 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 address flush +also dumps all the deleted addresses in the format described in the +previous subsection. + +.SH "EXAMPLES" +.PP +ip address show +.RS 4 +Shows IPv4 and IPv6 addresses assigned to all network interfaces. The 'show' +subcommand can be omitted. +.RE +.PP +ip address show up +.RS 4 +Same as above except that only addresses assigned to active network interfaces +are shown. +.RE +.PP +ip address show dev eth0 +.RS 4 +Shows IPv4 and IPv6 addresses assigned to network interface eth0. +.RE +.PP +ip address add 2001:0db8:85a3::0370:7334/64 dev eth1 +.RS 4 +Adds an IPv6 address to network interface eth1. +.RE +.PP +ip address delete 2001:0db8:85a3::0370:7334/64 dev eth1 +.RS 4 +Delete the IPv6 address added above. +.RE +.PP +ip address flush dev eth4 scope global +.RS 4 +Removes all global IPv4 and IPv6 addresses from device eth4. Without 'scope +global' it would remove all addresses including IPv6 link-local ones. +.RE + +.SH SEE ALSO +.br +.BR ip (8) + +.SH AUTHOR +Original Manpage by Michail Litvak <mci@owl.openwall.com> |
