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.
