The link status ``unknown`` is often visible on uninitialized wireguard interfaces, once traffic was successfully sent and received it will change to state ``up``. However, it is not recommended to assume that wireguard is correctly configured by the interface status, since multiple peers can be configured on a single interface and if only 1 out of 10 is working, the interface status will shown as ``up``. @@ -126,20 +129,29 @@ remove_interface() ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Removes an interface from the system, given as parameter of the objects instance. -set_macaddr(mac) -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +Interface macaddress +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Sets the mac address on a network interface. +.. code-block:: sh + + interface_instance.linkstate = 'up' + get_macaddr() -^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Returns the mac address of a network interface. -set_mtu(mtu=None) -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +Interface MTU +^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Sets the MTU on a network interface. +.. code-block:: sh + + interface_instance.mtu = 9000 + + get_mtu(self) -^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Returns the MTU of a network interface. |
