NAME ifup - bring a network interface up

   ifdown - take a network interface down

SYNOPSIS ifup CONFIG [boot]

   ifdown CONFIG

DESCRIPTION The ifup and ifdown commands may be used to configure (or, respec- tively, deconfigure) network interfaces based on interface definitions in the files /etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<configuration>

   These scripts take one argument normally: the name of the configuration (e.g. eth0). They are called with a second argument of "boot" during the
   boot sequence so that devices that are not meant to be brought up on boot (ONBOOT=no, see below) can be ignored at that time.

FILES /etc/sysconfig/network

   /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<configuration>
          The file defining an interface.
