IFRELOAD

NAME

ifreload − reload network interface configuration

SYNOPSIS

ifreload [−h] (−a|−c) [−v] [−d] [−f] [−n] [−s]

DESCRIPTION

reloads network interfaces(5) file /etc/network/interfaces or config file defined in ifupdown2.conf file.

Runs ifdown on interfaces that were removed from the file and subsequently runs ifup on all interfaces.

When removing an interface (iface section) from the interfaces file please make sure all its references are removed as well. Similarly when renaming an interface, please make sure all references to the interface are changed to the new name. Renaming an interface in the interfaces file results in ifdown of the old and ifup of the interface with the new name.

If you do not wish to execute down on any interfaces, but only up on interfaces that were already up, please see the −−currently−up option below.

OPTIONS

−h, −−help

show this help message and exit

−a, −−all

process all interfaces marked "auto"

−v, −−verbose

verbose

−d, −−debug

output debug info

−f, −−force

force run all operations

−c, −−currently−up

only reload auto and other interfaces that are currently up. This can be used as a non−disruptive alternative to −a because it will not down any interfaces

−X EXCLUDEPATS, −−exclude EXCLUDEPATS

Exclude interfaces from the list of interfaces to operate on. Can be specified multiple times If the excluded interface has dependent interfaces, (e.g. a bridge or a bond with multiple enslaved interfaces) then each dependent interface must be specified in order to be excluded.

−s, −−syntax−check

Only run the interfaces file parser

EXAMPLES

# reload all auto interfaces in interfaces(5) file

ifreload −a

# reload all interfaces using service command

service networking reload

# reload all currently up interfaces without bringing any interfaces down

service networking reload−currently−up
