About:
iproute2mac is a Python-based CLI tool that provides a Linux-like 'ip' command interface for macOS network diagnostics. It acts as a wrapper around native macOS tools like ifconfig and netstat, offering a unified and scriptable way to inspect network interfaces, routing tables, and neighbor tables.
Key Features:
  • Linux-compatible 'ip' command syntax
  • Unified interface for ifconfig, netstat, and route
  • Python-based for portability and easy installation
  • Supports IPv4 and IPv6 address management
Use Cases:
  • Debugging network connectivity issues on macOS
  • Automating network configuration checks in scripts
  • Easing Linux-to-macOS transition for developers and sysadmins
Alternatives:
  • ifconfig – Native macOS tool, but deprecated and lacks the unified syntax of iproute2mac.
  • net-tools – Standard Linux package, not natively available on macOS.
