<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
This manual page documents briefly the
<B>ifcfg</B>
command.
<P>
This is a simplistic script replacing one option of
<B>ifconfig</B>
, 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.
