The following maps the deprecated network tools (ifconfig, route, netstat, etc) to the new ip command.
| Old | New |
|---|---|
| ifconfig | ip addr |
| ifconfig $interface [up|down] | ip link set dev $interface [up|down] |
| ifconfig $interface $ip netmask $netmask | ip addr add $ip/$mask dev $interface |
| route add default gw $gateway | ip route add default via $gateway |
| route add -net $net netmask $netmask gw $gateway | ip route add $net/$mask via $gateway |
| route -n | ip route |
Like networking commands on switches and routers, you do not need to type the full command so long as what's entered can be uniquely identified. For example, ip address can be simplified to ip a and ip route can be simplified to ip r.
The ip address add $ip/$mask dev $interface will add additional IP addresses to the device. If it already has an existing IP address, you will need to use ip address del $ip/$mask dev $interface to remove it.
Some other commands:
