A Python CLI wrapper providing Linux iproute2-style commands (ip, bridge, ss) on macOS. It lets Linux-savvy admins perform basic network configuration and debugging tasks using familiar syntax.

Use cases

  • use ip command syntax on macOS
  • manage network interfaces from the terminal on Mac
  • show ARP and NDP neighbor tables like on Linux
  • set or randomize MAC address on macOS
  • debug network routes with familiar Linux commands
  • list network interfaces in brief format

When to choose

  • you administer macOS machines but know Linux iproute2 commands
  • you need quick basic network config or debugging on a Mac
  • you want scriptable ip/bridge/ss commands on macOS

When to avoid

  • you need full iproute2 feature parity or exact output compatibility
  • you need advanced network configuration on macOS
  • you are on Linux, where real iproute2 exists
