| * ifup(8), ifdown(8), and interfaces(5) |
| |
| The ifup and ifdown commands configure network interfaces as specified |
| in the /etc/network/interfaces configuration file. |
| |
| ifup -a is called from /etc/init.d/networking as part of the bootup |
| process, or for specific interfaces by the hotplug subsystem. |
| |
| * /etc/network/options |
| |
| This file is deprecated, and if present should be replaced by values |
| in /etc/sysctl.conf or equivalent custom scripts. |
| The relevant sysctl values are: |
| |
| ip_forward=yes: net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 |
| spoofprotect=yes: net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 1 |
| net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 1 |
| syncookies=yes: net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies = 1 |
