17 The ifup and ifdown commands may be used to configure (or, respec-
18 tively, deconfigure) network interfaces based on interface definitions
19 in the files /etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/sysconfig/network-
20 scripts/ifcfg-<configuration>
21
22 These scripts take one argument normally: the name of the configuration
23 (e.g. eth0). They are called with a second argument of "boot" during
24 the boot sequence so that devices that are not meant to be brought up
25 on boot (ONBOOT=no, see below) can be ignored at that time.
