NETWORKCTL(1) networkctl NETWORKCTL(1)
networkctl - Query or modify the status of network links
networkctl [OPTIONS...] COMMAND [LINK...]
networkctl may be used to query or modify 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.
The following commands are understood:
list [PATTERN...]
Show a list of existing links and their status. If one or
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.
Added in version 245.
off
The device is powered down.
Added in version 240.
no-carrier
The device is powered up, but does not yet have a
carrier.
Added in version 240.
dormant
The device has a carrier, but is not yet ready for normal
traffic.
Added in version 240.
degraded-carrier
One of the bonding or bridge slave network interfaces is
in off, no-carrier, or dormant state, and the master
interface has no address.
Added in version 242.
carrier
The link has carrier, or for bond or bridge master, all
bonding or bridge slave network interfaces are enslaved
to the master.
Added in version 240.
degraded
The link has carrier and addresses valid on the local
link configured. For bond or bridge master this means
that not all slave network interfaces have carrier but at
least one does.
Added in version 240.
enslaved
The link has carrier and is enslaved to bond or bridge
master network interface.
Added in version 242.
routable
The link has carrier and routable address configured. For
bond or bridge master it is not necessary for all slave
network interfaces to have carrier, but at least one
must.
Added in version 240.
The setup status is one of the following:
pending
systemd-udevd(8) is still processing the link, we don't
yet know if we will manage it.
Added in version 240.
initialized
systemd-udevd(8) has processed the link, but we don't yet
know if we will manage it.
Added in version 251.
configuring
Configuration for the link is being retrieved or the link
is being configured.
Added in version 240.
configured
Link has been configured successfully.
Added in version 240.
unmanaged
systemd-networkd is not handling the link.
Added in version 240.
failed
systemd-networkd failed to configure the link.
Added in version 240.
linger
The link is gone, but has not yet been dropped by
systemd-networkd.
Added in version 240.
Added in version 219.
status [PATTERN...]
Show information about the specified links: type, state,
kernel module driver, hardware and IP address, configured DNS
servers, etc. If one or 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
Online state: online
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
In the overall network status, the online state depends on
the individual online state of all required links. Managed
links are required for online by default. In this case, the
online state is one of the following:
unknown
All links have unknown online status (i.e. there are no
required links).
Added in version 249.
offline
All required links are offline.
Added in version 249.
partial
Some, but not all, required links are online.
Added in version 249.
online
All required links are online.
Added in version 249.
Added in version 219.
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.
Added in version 219.
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
Added in version 234.
delete DEVICE...
Deletes virtual netdevs. Takes interface name or index
number.
Added in version 243.
up DEVICE...
Bring devices up. Takes interface name or index number.
Added in version 246.
down DEVICE...
Bring devices down. Takes interface name or index number.
Added in version 246.
renew DEVICE...
Renew dynamic configurations e.g. addresses received from
DHCP server. Takes interface name or index number.
Added in version 244.
forcerenew DEVICE...
Send a FORCERENEW message to all connected clients,
triggering DHCP reconfiguration. Takes interface name or
index number.
Added in version 246.
reconfigure DEVICE...
Reconfigure network interfaces. Takes interface name or index
number. Note that this does not reload .netdev or .network
corresponding to the specified interface. So, if you edit
config files, it is necessary to call networkctl reload first
to apply new settings.
Added in version 244.
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.
Added in version 244.
edit FILE|@DEVICE...
Edit network configuration files, which include .network,
.netdev, and .link files. If no network config file matching
the given name is found, a new one will be created under
/etc/ or /run/, depending on whether --runtime is specified.
Specially, if the name is prefixed by "@", it will be treated
as a network interface, and editing will be performed on the
network config files associated with it. Additionally, the
interface name can be suffixed with ":network" (default) or
":link", in order to choose the type of network config to
operate on.
If --drop-in= is specified, edit the drop-in file instead of
the main configuration file. Unless --no-reload is specified,
systemd-networkd will be reloaded after the edit of the
.network or .netdev files finishes. The same applies for
.link files and systemd-udevd(8). Note that the changed link
settings are not automatically applied after reloading. To
achieve that, trigger uevents for the corresponding
interface. Refer to systemd.link(5) for more information.
Added in version 254.
cat FILE|@DEVICE...
Show network configuration files. This command honors the "@"
prefix in the same way as edit.
Added in version 254.
mask FILE...
Mask network configuration files, which include .network,
.netdev, and .link files. A symlink of the given name will be
created under /etc/ or /run/, depending on whether --runtime
is specified, that points to /dev/null. If a non-empty config
file with the specified name exists under the target
directory or a directory with higher priority (e.g.
--runtime is used while an existing config resides in /etc/),
the operation is aborted.
This command honors --no-reload in the same way as edit.
Added in version 256.
unmask FILE...
Unmask network configuration files, i.e. reverting the effect
of mask. Note that this command operates regardless of the
scope of the directory, i.e. --runtime is of no effect.
This command honors --no-reload in the same way as edit and
mask.
Added in version 256.
The following options are understood:
-a --all
Show all links with status.
Added in version 219.
-s --stats
Show link statistics with status.
Added in version 243.
-l, --full
Do not ellipsize the output.
Added in version 245.
-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.
Added in version 245.
--drop-in=NAME
When used with edit, edit the drop-in file NAME instead of
the main configuration file.
Added in version 254.
--no-reload
When used with edit, mask, or unmask,
systemd-networkd.service(8) or systemd-udevd.service(8) will
not be reloaded after the operation finishes.
Added in version 254.
--runtime
When used with edit or mask, operate on the file under
/run/ instead of /etc/.
Added in version 256.
--json=MODE
Shows output formatted as JSON. Expects one of "short" (for
the shortest possible output without any redundant whitespace
or line breaks), "pretty" (for a pretty version of the same,
with indentation and line breaks) or "off" (to turn off JSON
output, the default).
-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.
On success, 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.
