If you want a FreeBSD-like ifconfig on Linux-based operating systems, I made one. I needed the same syntax across both.

maybe i should try with usb live iso first #iwconfig #ifconfig #ip link

🛠 Novo no blog: Use ip, não ifconfig

Explico por que substituir o legado ifconfig pelo mais moderno e poderoso comando ip, parte da suíte iproute2, que está em desuso no Linux moderno. Cito uma resposta em Stack Exchange que reforça seu eventual fim e destaco que outros comandos como arp, route e netstat também estão obsoletos .

Probably best to illustrate how ifconfig handles netmasks too.

Coming from GNU et al. toolsets, the naming pattern of procstat/fstat/vmstat/netstat/kldstat/sockstat/iostat is not obvious when only sees them presented as piecemeal equivalents.

#FreeBSD #procstat #fstat #iostat #ifconfig #netstat

If you like the FreeBSD syntax, I have an ifconfig that is closer to FreeBSD syntax than the net-tools one is.

In fact, that was its raison d'être. It brought (most of) the FreeBSD syntax to Debian so that I could auto-translate /etc/network/interfaces into FreeBSD-like setup that used ifconfig.

After #systemd came out on #Debian I was unable to learn about the alternative #Linux commands like #ip or #iw; they don't stick in my brain only #ifconfig... 😓

🔴 "ipconfig" es la herramienta de configuración de red de Windows.

🔴 "ss -i" muestra info interna de comunicaciones TCP. Es el reemplazo de iproute2 para el "netstat" de net-tools.

🔴 "hostname" muestra y gestiona el nombre de host en GNU/Linux, y la opción "-I" no existe y produce un error.

Y ustedes, ¿todavía usan #ifconfig? 😜

🟢 Solución: ip a

El comando #ip permite realizar casi todas las configuraciones de red en GNU/Linux.

"ip a" es la abreviatura de "ip addr", o "ip address", todos hacen lo mismo.

Es parte del paquete #iproute2, reemplazo de net-tools de #Unix, y remplaza a varias herramientas hoy consideradas obsoletas en Linux (creo que hace todo lo que antes hacíamos con #ifconfig, #route, #iptunnel, o #arp).

I think that specialized is the wrong way around, there. Usually it is the generalized tool, the one that can do every possible niche task (e.g. openssl even containing a WWW server) that is complex. Whereas the specialized tool (e.g. other SSL tools that do only SSL wrapping) is the simpler.

#ifconfig is the example that most people bring up, but the tale of #ps on Linux is also interesting as a different case study.

As implied, the #NetBSD port of #nosh, #redo, and #djbwares is pretty much done.

NetBSD doesn't make it as easy to switch between process 1 programs as FreeBSD does, so the system manager is not tested. But many of the other tools from tai64nlocal, cyclog, and setterm; through login-envuidgid and envdir; to the service manager and console-tty37-viewer; have now been used in earnest.

There are known missing bits in #ifconfig and list-process-table. And UVT realizers are not tested at all yet.

I have a nice example of things that I stick to the iftools ifconfig and all the tools that were there since the beginning of Unix.

For no good reason at all the team that puts the userland tools decided to promote IP tools 'ip -c a' instead and depreciate the iftools, pissing off thousands of Linux admins, who have to download them seperate now, fucking up decades old & stable scripts from the beginning of Unix time. I have the iftools in muscle memory.
