Python Netlink library
Project description
pyroute2
========
Python network configuration library
PyRoute2 uses Netlink protocol to communicate with the Linux kernel
and get all the information about network objects -- interfaces, routes,
addresses, ARP cache entries and so on. Some of network objects can be
also modified.
TODO
====
* VLAN linkinfo data
* bridge info: see `./net/bridge/br_netlink.c:br_fill_ifinfo()`
Example usage
=============
from pyroute2 import iproute
ip = iproute()
# lookup interface by name
dev = ip.link_lookup(ifname='eth0')[0]
# bring it down
ip.link('set', dev, state='down')
# change interface MAC address and rename it
ip.link('set', dev, address='00:11:22:33:44:55', ifname='bala')
# add primary IP address
ip.addr('add', dev, address='10.0.0.1', mask=24)
# add secondary IP address
ip.addr('add', dev, address='10.0.0.2', mask=24)
# bring it up
ip.link('set', dev, state='up')
Installation
============
