===========
reloads network **interfaces(5)** file **/etc/network/interfaces**.
Runs **ifdown** on interfaces that changed in the interfaces file and
Runs **ifdown** on interfaces that were removed from the file and
subsequently runs **ifup** on all interfaces.
**ifreload** is equivalent to **ifdown -a** followed by **ifup -a**
but it skips **ifdown** for interfaces that did not change in the config
file.
When removing an interface (iface section) from the interfaces file
please make sure all its references are removed as well. Similarly
when renaming an interface, please make sure all references to the
interface are changed to the new name. Renaming an interface
in the interfaces file results in ifdown of the old and ifup
of the interface with the new name.
If you do not wish to execute **down** on any interfaces, but only **up** on
interfaces that were already **up**, please see the **--currently-up**
