I don't know if this needs any particular configuration, but
diald includes a named pipe that can accept commands, e.g.,
$ echo force > /var/run/diald.ctl
should force the link up, and,
$ echo block > /var/run/diald.ctl
should block it (down). Other commands are 'up' and 'down'.
On my system I do have to chmod and chgrp the control file
(named pipe) so that I have permission to send these commands.
I've written some simple scripts so that I instead just
type
$ diald force
$ diald block
where the diald script sends the command to the named pipe.
