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