[ale] IP- was Re: RHEL Questions

[Scott McBrien]

Paul,  more or less, yes.  ip can also:
ip addr ...
ip link ...

There are a few more I've used too, but they've oozed out of ye olde brain.  One of the addition arguments that I use all the time with ip is show, so like ip addr show, or ip route show.
