Subject: ip link: proto_down config and display.
X-Git-Tag: v4.3.0~83
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=188648270ae9d5d967fddf496cd2f2a5ac04e2bf;p=thirdparty%2Fiproute2.git

ip link: proto_down config and display.

This patch adds support to set and display protodown on a switch port. The
switch driver can handle this error state by doing a phys down on the port.

One example user space application setting this flag is a multi-chassis
LAG application to handle split-brain situation on peer-link failure.

Example:
root@net-next:~# ip link set eth1 protodown on
root@net-next:~/iproute2# ip link show eth1
4: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 52:54:00:12:35:01 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff protodown on
root@net-next:~/iproute2# ip link set eth1 protodown off
root@net-next:~/iproute2# ip link show eth1
4: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 52:54:00:12:35:01 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
root@net-next:~/iproute2#
