Just curious to know, what do the ifup and ifdown commands do? Can they be used?

They are scripts to bring a network interface up and down.

ifup eth0 <=> ifconfig eth0 up
ifdown eth0 <=> ifconfig eth0 down

However I have never opened the ifup and ifdown scripts to make sure
that they are identical to the ifconfig commands above.

Cheers,
Debarshi
