is among them.
i have a growing concern about operation of ifup and ifdown.
i am noticing that when i 'ifdown eth0' is still see flashing of
ethernet led
on a 2wire 2701hg-b dsl modem.
it was my understanding that using ifup and ifdown that this 2
commands would
bring ethernet connection up and down, but ethernet led on modem is
now making
me believe other wise.
just what do commands actually do?
as 'user' what is/are better command or commands to use without 'su'
or 'sudo'
to connect ethernet to modem?
tia.
I believe that you have to be root to "ifdown" but even after the
interface is down there will be an indication of traffic on the NIC
because there are other machines on the network.
