The deprecated net-tools package contains all legacy network tools such as ipconfig, route, arp, etc. Since tools from net-tools are now obsolete, it is best practice to move towards using the replacement package iproute2.
The following table maps the old net-tools commands to the new iproute2 commands.
Old net-tools
|
New iproute2
|
|---|---|
| arp | ip neighbour |
| netstat -ln | ss -ln |
| netstat -r | ip route |
| netstat -i | ip -s link |
| ip maddr | netstat -g |
| iwconfig | iw |
| iptunnel | ip tunnel |
| nameif | ip link |
| ifconfig | ip address |
| 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 del -net $net gw $gateway netmask $netmask dev $device | ip route del $net/$mask via $gateway |
| route -n | ip route |
| ip address add $ip/$mask dev $interface | |
| ip address del $ip/$mask dev $interface |
The iproute2 sub commands can be specified with the shortest unambiguous name (ie. a or addr for address).
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:
