+.in -8
+
+.SS ip link delete - delete virtual link
+.I DEVICE
+specifies the virtual  device to act operate on.
+.I TYPE
+specifies the type of the device.
+
+
+.TP
+.BI dev " DEVICE "
+specifies the physical device to act operate on.
+
+.SS ip link set - change device attributes
+
+.TP
+.BI dev " DEVICE "
+.I DEVICE
+specifies network device to operate on. When configuring SR-IOV Virtual Fuction
+(VF) devices, this keyword should specify the associated Physical Function (PF)
+device.
+
+.TP
+.BI group " GROUP "
+.I GROUP
+has a dual role: If both group and dev are present, then move the device to the
+specified group.  If only a group is specified, then the command operates on
+all devices in that group.
+
+.TP
+.BR up " and " down
+change the state of the device to
+.B UP
+or
+.BR "DOWN" .
+
+.TP
+.BR "arp on " or " arp off"
+change the
+.B NOARP
+flag on the device.
+
+.TP
+.BR "multicast on " or " multicast off"
+change the
+.B MULTICAST
+flag on the device.
+
+.TP
+.BR "dynamic on " or " dynamic off"
+change the
+.B DYNAMIC
+flag on the device.
+
+.TP
+.BI name " NAME"
+change the name of the device.  This operation is not
+recommended if the device is running or has some addresses
+already configured.
+
+.TP
+.BI txqueuelen " NUMBER"
+.TP
+.BI txqlen " NUMBER"
+change the transmit queue length of the device.
+
+.TP
+.BI mtu " NUMBER"
+change the
+.I MTU
+of the device.
+
+.TP
+.BI address " LLADDRESS"
+change the station address of the interface.
+
+.TP
+.BI broadcast " LLADDRESS"
+.TP
+.BI brd " LLADDRESS"
+.TP
+.BI peer " LLADDRESS"
+change the link layer broadcast address or the peer address when
+the interface is
+.IR "POINTOPOINT" .
+
+.TP
+.BI netns " PID"
+move the device to the network namespace associated with the process
+.IR "PID".
+
+.TP
+.BI netns " NETNSNAME"
+move the device to the network namespace associated with name
+.IR "NETNSNAME".
+
+.TP
+.BI alias " NAME"
+give the device a symbolic name for easy reference.
+
+.TP
+.BI group " GROUP"
+specify the group the device belongs to.
+The available groups are listed in file
+.BR "@SYSCONFDIR@/group" .
+
+.TP
+.BI vf " NUM"
+specify a Virtual Function device to be configured. The associated PF device
+must be specified using the
+.B dev
+parameter.
+
+.in +8
+.BI mac " LLADDRESS"
+- change the station address for the specified VF. The
+.B vf
+parameter must be specified.
+
+.sp
+.BI vlan " VLANID"
+- change the assigned VLAN for the specified VF. When specified, all traffic
+sent from the VF will be tagged with the specified VLAN ID. Incoming traffic
+will be filtered for the specified VLAN ID, and will have all VLAN tags
+stripped before being passed to the VF. Setting this parameter to 0 disables
+VLAN tagging and filtering. The
+.B vf
+parameter must be specified.
+
+.sp
+.BI qos " VLAN-QOS"
+- assign VLAN QOS (priority) bits for the VLAN tag. When specified, all VLAN
+tags transmitted by the VF will include the specified priority bits in the
+VLAN tag. If not specified, the value is assumed to be 0. Both the
+.B vf
+and
+.B vlan
+parameters must be specified. Setting both
+.B vlan
+and
+.B qos
+as 0 disables VLAN tagging and filtering for the VF.
+
+.sp
+.BI rate " TXRATE"
+- change the allowed transmit bandwidth, in Mbps, for the specified VF.
+Setting this parameter to 0 disables rate limiting. The
+.B vf
+parameter must be specified.
+
+.sp
+.BI spoofchk " on|off"
+- turn packet spoof checking on or off for the specified VF.
+.in -8
+
+.TP
+.BI master " DEVICE"
+set master device of the device (enslave device).
+
+.TP
+.BI nomaster
+unset master device of the device (release device).
+
+.PP
+.B Warning:
+If multiple parameter changes are requested,
+.B ip
+aborts immediately after any of the changes have failed.
+This is the only case when
+.B ip
+can move the system to an unpredictable state.  The solution
+is to avoid changing several parameters with one
+.B ip link set
+call.
+
+.SS  ip link show - display device attributes
+
+.TP
+.BI dev " NAME " (default)
+.I NAME
+specifies the network device to show.
+If this argument is omitted all devices in the default group are listed.
+
+.TP
+.BI group " GROUP "
+.I GROUP
+specifies what group of devices to show.
+
+.TP
+.B up
+only display running interfaces.
