iproute2 software provides advanced network control tools for Linux kernels, designed for professional use.
IProute2 is a professional set of tools designed to control networking behavior in kernels 2.2.x and beyond. One of the essential tools included in this set is IP link, which enables the viewing and manipulation of network device states.
A link refers to a network device, and with IP link, users can set and show commands to change device attributes. The set and show commands are the only two available for this tool.
However, users should take note of the warning when using IP link. Requesting multiple parameter changes can cause an immediate abort after a failure, leaving the system in an unpredictable state. To avoid such issues, it's recommended to use multiple individual IP link set commands to perform actions separately as needed.
Overall, IProute2 with IP link provides an efficient and professional way to control networking behavior, and its tools are a must-have for any network administrator.
