Description Kiran 2017-02-09 00:01:20 UTC

Description of problem:

We are using ifquery command in ubuntu to figure out the order in which bond interfaces need to be brought up for contrail dpdk-vrouter. Trying to do similar thing for RHEL-7 but unable to find the ifquery command.

On Red Hat only we use the commands and manage by Network Manager sometimes


ifup(8)                                                        System Administration tools and Daemons                                                       ifup(8)

NAME
       ifup - bring a network interface up

       ifdown - take a network interface down

SYNOPSIS
       ifup CONFIG [boot]

       ifdown CONFIG

DESCRIPTION
       The  ifup  and  ifdown  commands  may  be  used to configure (or, respec- tively, deconfigure) network interfaces based on interface definitions in the files
       /etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<configuration>

       These scripts take one argument normally: the name of the configuration (e.g. eth0). They are called with  a  second  argument  of  "boot"  during  the  boot
       sequence so that devices that are not meant to be brought up on boot (ONBOOT=no, see below) can be ignored at that time.

FILES
       /etc/sysconfig/network

       /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<configuration>
              The file defining an interface.

SEE ALSO
       /usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt


/etc/network/interfaces are on  /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ at RHEL, you can find config files, ifup, ifdown but normally there are manage by Network Manager.

after command ip could configure many things

This isn't a PackageKit bug.
