Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Phil Sutter 2016-01-08 16:36:54 UTC 
Listing interfaces by type (or other selectors maybe?) is a nice to have feature. Sadly, RHEL7 seems not to support it yet:

# ip link show type bridge
Error: either "dev" is duplicate, or "bridge" is a garbage.
Comment 1 Phil Sutter 2016-01-12 17:40:03 UTC 
To enable this feature, the following upstream commit should be backported:

commit 712249d8fac88bcf3a9fd0b1de2263074075873b
Author: Vadim Kochan <vadim4j>
Date:   Wed Dec 10 10:11:29 2014 +0200

    ip link: Show devices by type
    
    Added new option 'type' to 'ip link show'
    command which allows to filter devices by type:
    
        ip link show type bridge
        ip link show type vlan
    
    Signed-off-by: Vadim Kochan <vadim4j>

Maybe a good opportunity to check if there are other simple enhancements missing which make life easier.
Comment 3 Phil Sutter 2016-01-25 21:42:13 UTC 
This is a duplicate of bug 1297000, just specific to link type bridge, which it should not be as upstream did not fix the issue for that type separately.
