'list' perhaps? Which I think is the default anyway? It's 'list' indeed. 'ip a l' is a personal habit. > I believe anyone who knows the short versions will know the long ones, > and those who don't won't have to go digging up the manpages to > understand what's going on :-) I've requested these commands as I suspect that current IPv4 routing of that host prevents it to talk to configured DNSes. Of course, it might as well be: 1) Misconfigured 'nat' netfilter table (libvirt can do some strange things in this regard for instance). 2) Misconfigured 'filter' netfilter table (iptables are teh hard sometimes). 3) Misconfigured 'mangle' netfilter table (forced UDP checksumming for no good reason). 4) Misconfigured IPv6. 5) All those martian green men that wish evil to us all. But in cases like this I like to search for simple explanation first, and proceed to complex ones after. PS I agree that iproute's manpages have a great improvement potential. Speaking lightly ☺.
