CONFIGEC0STATE(1M)                                          CONFIGEC0STATE(1M)



NAME
     configec0state - activate or deactivate the primary interface

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

DESCRIPTION
     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
     -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).
