EXAMPLES

74       Create a standard ethernet interface named eth0
75              icfg -i eth0 -c -t eth
76
77       Modify the eth0 config to set the BOOTPROTO and ONBOOT keys
78              icfg -i eth0 -s BOOTPROTO=dhcp -s ONBOOT=yes
79
80       Modify the eth0 config to clear the HWADDR key
81              icfg -i eth0 -s BOOTPROTO=dhcp -s HWADDR
82
83       Dump the contents of eth0 to stdout
84              icfg -i eth0 -d
85
86       Create a bonded interface named bond0 and set its BONDING_OPTS key
87              icfg  -i  bond0  -c  -t bond -s BONDING_OPTS="mode=active-backup
88              miimon=100"
89
90       Enslave eth0 and eth1 to bond0
91              icfg -i bond0 --enslave eth0 --enslave eth1
92
93       Remove eth1 as a slave of bond0
94              icfg -i bond0 --deslave eth1
95
96       List the slaves of bond0 on stdout
