ifcfg8
Simplistic script which replaces ifconfig ip management
Usage
ifcfg [DEVICE]
[command]
ADDRESS
[PEER]
Overview
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.
