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 control routes and restarts Router Discovery when it is necessary.
