NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     configec0state - activate or deactivate the primary interface

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     /usr/sysadm/privbin/configec0state	[-n] -up | -down

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     This command with the -up option activates	the primary interface.	The
     file /etc/config/ifconfig-1.options is updated.  The -down	option
     deactivates the primary interface.	 If your system	is a standalone
     machine or	you are	using some other network interface, such as ISDN or
     modem instead of the ethernet interface, you may want to deactivate the
     ethernet interface.  When the ethernet port is not	connected and the
     interface is still	up, you	may see	a dialog box that pops up at a regular
     interval with the message "No ethernet .... Check your ethernet cable.".
     Setting the state to -down	will suppress this message.

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

     -n	  Restart the network after making the changes.	 This has the effect
	  of killing any applications with files open on a network file	system
	  or current working directories in network file system.  If this
	  switch is not	used, the system will not be fully configured until
	  the network is restarted (such as with a reboot).
