SYNOPSIS

CLIMCMD {clim-name|ip-address} ifstop interface [-force]

ifstop Description

ip-over-infiniband, bonding and tunnel interfaces and deactivates all the IP addresses and routes

associated with the network interface.

PARAMETERS

interface

Specifies the name of the network interface that is to be stopped and made unavailable to the

NonStop host. The interface name can be specified as a physical or bonded interface name,

for example, eth1 or bond0 or ib0, or a tunnel interface (for example, MYTUN).

-force

When used without –force option, ifstop prompts for confirmation before stopping the interface.

If the –force option is used, ifstop stops the interface without prompting for the confirmation.

ERROR MESSAGES

The interface interface-name has a tunnel interface associated with it. The tunnel interface

should be stopped prior to stopping the specified interface.

does not allow the interface to be stopped.

The tunnel interface must be stopped before its parent interface can be stopped.
