Description
The Ifconfig command is used to configure the kernel-resident network interfaces. It is used at boot time
to set up interfaces as necessary. After that, it is usually only needed when debugging or when system
tuning is needed.
If no arguments are given, ifconfig displays the status of the currently active interfaces. If a single
interface argument is given, it displays the status of the given interface only; if a single -a argument is
given, it displays the status of all interfaces, even those that are down. Otherwise, it configures an
interface.
