Resubmitting Scott Feldmans original patch with below changes
- Fix port profile strlen which was off by 1
- Added function to convert IFLA_PORT_RESPONSE codes to string
Add support for IFLA_VF_PORTS. VF port netlink msg layout is
[IFLA_NUM_VF]
[IFLA_VF_PORTS]
[IFLA_VF_PORT]
[IFLA_PORT_*], ...
[IFLA_VF_PORT]
[IFLA_PORT_*], ...
...
[IFLA_PORT_SELF]
[IFLA_PORT_*], ...
The iproute2 cmd line for link set is now:
Usage: ip link add link DEV [ name ] NAME
[ txqueuelen PACKETS ]
[ address LLADDR ]
[ broadcast LLADDR ]
[ mtu MTU ]
type TYPE [ ARGS ]
ip link delete DEV type TYPE [ ARGS ]
ip link set DEVICE [ { up | down } ]
[ arp { on | off } ]
[ dynamic { on | off } ]
[ multicast { on | off } ]
[ allmulticast { on | off } ]
[ promisc { on | off } ]
[ trailers { on | off } ]
[ txqueuelen PACKETS ]
[ name NEWNAME ]
[ address LLADDR ]
[ broadcast LLADDR ]
[ mtu MTU ]
[ netns PID ]
[ alias NAME ]
[ port MODE { PROFILE | VSI } ]
[ vf NUM [ mac LLADDR ]
[ vlan VLANID [ qos VLAN-QOS ] ]
[ rate TXRATE ]
[ port MODE { PROFILE | VSI } ] ]
ip link show [ DEVICE ]
TYPE := { vlan | veth | vcan | dummy | ifb | macvlan | can }
MODE := { assoc | preassoc | preassocrr | disassoc }
PROFILE := profile PROFILE
[ instance UUID ]
[ host UUID ]
VSI := vsi mgr MGRID type VTID ver VER
[ instance UUID ]
