Use the ip and ss commands to view a list of network interfaces and information for IP addresses.
Although the ifconfig command and the netstat command work on Photon OS, VMware recommends that you use the ip or ss commands. The ipconfig and netstat commands are deprecated.
For example, to display a list of network interfaces, run the ss command instead of netstat. To display information for IP addresses, run the ip addr command instead of ifconfig -a.
Examples are as follows:
USE THIS IPROUTE COMMAND INSTEAD OF THIS NET-TOOL COMMANDip addr ifconfig -ass netstatip route routeip maddr netstat -gip link set eth0 up ifconfig eth0 upip -s neigh arp -vip link set eth0 mtu 9000 ifconfig eth0 mtu 9000Using the ip route version of a command instead of the net-tools version often provides more complete and accurate information on Photon OS. Examples are as follows:
