You don't want "man ifup" or "man ifdown".  Those will give you the man
pages, which don't exist.  Some commands you can use:

# ifdown <interface>
# ifup <interface>

# ifconfig <interface> down
# ifconfig <interface> up

# /etc/rc.d/init.d/network stop
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/network start

Sometimes, /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart works for me and sometimes
it doesn't.  That's why I just stop and start it - YMMV.
