ifcfg - simplistic script which replaces ifconfig IP management
ifcfg [ DEVICE ] [ command ] ADDRESS [ PEER ]
This manual page documents briefly the ifcfg command.
This is a simplistic script replacing one option of ifconfig ,
namely, IP address management. It not only adds addresses, but also
carries out Duplicate Address Detection RFC-DHCP, sends unsolicited
ARP to update the caches of other hosts sharing the interface, adds
some control routes and restarts Router Discovery when it is
necessary.
DEVICE - it may have alias, suffix, separated by colon.
command
- add, delete or stop.
ADDRESS
- optionally followed by prefix length.
peer - optional peer address for pointpoint interfaces.
This script is not suitable for use with IPv6.
IP Command reference ip-cref.ps
