NAME

       ifcfg - simplistic script which replaces ifconfig IP management

SYNOPSIS

       ifcfg [ DEVICE ] [ command ] ADDRESS [ PEER ]

DESCRIPTION

       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 con-
       trol routes and restarts Router Discovery when it is necessary.

IFCONFIG - COMMAND SYNTAX
       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.

NOTES

       This script is not suitable for use with IPv6.

NAME

       ifcfg-wireless - wireless LAN network interface configuration

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan-*
       /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-type-wlan

GENERAL

       Wireless  networks  need  some additional configuration data compared to ethernet ones. Therefore additional variables for ifcfg files were
       introduced.  All wireless LAN specific variables are described in the ifcfg template file /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg.template. It is pos-
       sible to configure more than one wireless network accepted for association. To achieve this add suffix _1 to all wireless variables for the
       second network, _2 for the this, and so on. Example: WIRELESS_ESSID_1="second_net" You can have up to  ten  wireless  networks  configured.
       Some  wireless  variables  are not applicable to a single wireless network but are global to the interface. The description of the variable
       points this out.
