NETWORKCTL(1) networkctl NETWORKCTL(1)
NAME
networkctl - Query or modify the status of network links
SYNOPSIS
networkctl [OPTIONS...] COMMAND [LINK...]
DESCRIPTION
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.
COMMANDS
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
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
initialized
udev has processed the link, but we don't yet know if we will manage it
configuring
in the process of retrieving configuration or configuring the link
configured
link configured successfully
unmanaged
networkd is not handling the link
failed
networkd failed to manage 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 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
