 They're different commands.  Do a 'which ifup' and 'which ifconfig' to see.
 
Yeah...but you can probably accomplish the same thing with both, I'd
guess. Just two ways of reaching the same point. :-)

Hmm...well, I suppose you're correct. I'm just telling it the way I
learned it. As the old saying goes, there's more than one way to skin
a cat. :-)

The 'ifup' command runs through the applicable scripts in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts setting up routes and such.  It'll only work
once you setup the interfaces in netcfg (don't know if linuxconf also dumps
it's setup in there, I've never used the thing).

[newbie] How do I bring eth0 down?

1999-10-23 Thread Eric L. Damron 

I have a Linux server that I use for IP Masq.   I wish to bring the ethernet
card to the outside down before lowering my firewall to do work on the
server.  (I have has a LOT of attacks.)

I would just unplug the cable modem but when I do that there are a lot of
time out problems (delays)  I was hoping that I could avoid these by taking
the eth0 card off-line.  (It may not help but It's worth a try.)

Can someone tell me how to bring this card down (and back up.)  without
rebooting the server?

Thanks

On my box the commands are also shortened to ifup and ifdown.

 Su to root, type "ifconfig eth0 down" :-) That should do it. Then,
 when you're ready to plug it all back up, "ifconfig eth0 up" :-)
