Excuse me for a silly question, but what the hell is UP? I know, what is
IP, I know how ifconfig works, but wtf is UP?

I'm looking for a way to set an interface UP using /etc/rc.conf
without giving the interface an IP-address (i.e. neither static nor
DHCP)
Background: The machine in question has three Ethernet-IFs - one
connects to the LAN (and has an IP-address) the other two are used for
monitoring traffic via ethereal only. For security reasons I don't
want to assign IP-addresses to the two "ethereal-only" interfaces -
but I need them "UP".
Sure enough I can "up" these interfaces manually but I want them up at
boot-time.
I've tried with entries like e.g.
ifconfig_fxp1=""
ifconfig_fxp1="UP"
in my /etc/rc.conf - none of these work.
Try "up" (lowercase) instead.
