Optional
anycastTODO: Missing from manpage.
Optional
broadcastThe broadcast address on the interface.
It is possible to use the special symbols '+' and '-' instead of the broadcast address. In this case, the broadcast address is derived by setting/resetting the host bits of the interface prefix.
The name of the device.
Optional
labelEach address may be tagged with a label string. In order to preserve compatibility with Linux-2.0 net aliases, this string must coincide with the name of the device or must be prefixed with the device name followed by colon. The maximum allowed total length of label is 15 characters.
The address of the interface. The format of the address depends on the protocol.
It is a dotted quad for IP and a sequence of hexadecimal halfwords separated by colons for IPv6. The ADDRESS may be followed by a slash and a decimal number which encodes the network prefix length.
Optional
mngtmpaddr(IPv6 only) make the kernel manage temporary addresses created from this one as template on behalf of Privacy Extensions (RFC3041).
For this to become active, the use_tempaddr
sysctl setting has to be set to a value greater than zero.
The given address needs to have a prefix length of 64.
This flag allows to use privacy extensions in a manually configured network, just like if stateless auto-configuration was active.
Optional
peerThe address of the remote endpoint for pointopoint interfaces.
Again, the ADDRESS may be followed by a slash and a decimal number, encoding the network prefix length. If a peer address is specified, the local address cannot have a prefix length. The network prefix is associated with the peer rather than with the local address.
Optional
scopeThe scope of the area where this address is valid.
The available scopes are listed in file /etc/iproute2/rt_scopes
.
