23 Description: Network Interface Management tool similar to ifupdown
24 ifupdown2 is ifupdown re-written in Python. It replaces ifupdown and provides
25 the same user interface as ifupdown for network interface configuration.
26 Like ifupdown, ifupdown2 is a high level tool to configure (or, respectively
27 deconfigure) network interfaces based on interface definitions in
28 /etc/network/interfaces. It is capable of detecting network interface
29 dependencies and comes with several new features which are available as
30 new command options to ifup/ifdown/ifquery commands. It also comes with a new
31 command ifreload to reload interface configuration with minimum
32 disruption. Most commands are also capable of input and output in JSON format.
33 It is backward compatible with ifupdown /etc/network/interfaces format and
34 supports newer simplified format. It also supports interface templates with
35 python-mako for large scale interface deployments. See
36 /usr/share/doc/ifupdown2/README.rst for details about ifupdown2. Examples
37 are available under /usr/share/doc/ifupdown2/examples.
