                            4 links listed.

                              .PP status [LINK...]

                                      Show information about the specified links: type, state, kernel module driver, hardware and IP address, configured DNS servers, etc.

                                      When no links are specified, an overall network status is shown. Also see the option --all.

                                      Produces output similar to:

                                          Show discovered LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) neighbors. If one or more link names are specified only neighbors on those interfaces are shown. Otherwise shows discovered neighbors on all interfaces. Note that for this feature to work, LLDP= must be turned on on the specific interface, see systemd.network(5) for details.
