networkctl

Query the status of network links. Manage the network configuration using systemd-networkd. More information: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/networkctl.html.

• Show a list of existing links and their status:

networkctl list

• Show an overall network status:

networkctl status

• Bring network devices up:

networkctl up {{interface1 interface2 ...}}

• Bring network devices down:

networkctl down {{interface1 interface2 ...}}

• Renew dynamic configurations (e.g. IP addresses received from a DHCP server):

networkctl renew {{interface1 interface2 ...}}

• Reload configuration files (.netdev and .network):

networkctl reload

• Reconfigure network interfaces (if you edited the config, you need to call networkctl reload first):

networkctl reconfigure {{interface1 interface2 ...}}
