Appreciate the info. A little asterix ** note beside the first command of "routing restart" would have really saved my nightmare. (I was already in a panic to reboot my network interface, and didn't get a chance to read through the entire document -- it seemed easy and clear enough with the first command) I wish the caveat note about running /etc/rc.d/routing restart immediately afterwards was near the note about /etc/rc.d/netif restart — I just took down my host remotely by not finding out that tidbit a little too late after it didn’t come up.

Thank you for the easy to unterstand articles. I try to use vlans. How can I 'restart' the virtual interface? The command /etc/rc.d/netif restart vlan5 not works for me. Another vlan question: what about interfaces? Must have the external/real/physical interface an address? Hi!

You need to type the commands as follows in order to avoid any problems:

The right way is:

I am right?

Ease of use is main difference between two. /etc/netstart is old method and does not support all the options (like stop, restart etc), which is now supported by /etc/rc.d/netif script.
