Restart network interfaces

mcne2001
Dear all
What is the recommended way to restart network interfaces?
We have a configuration using a DSL modem connected to a intel pro networkkart using PPPOE, from time to time the DSL interface on the Astaro goes down. 
I can not restart the interface using the Webadmin because it's configured with VPN, however I used init 2 command on the shell to do it. Is there any other recommended way? 
I did not restarted the ASL because I had outgoing emails in the proxy-cache....
Thank you, Werner

    I want to know this also. I want to be able to take down and up interfaces even though stuff are configured. 

    don't know which dist astaro is based on but perhaps /etc/init.d/networking restart would do the trick. Otherwise ifconfig ethX down and up.

    Hi,

    ssh to the box, get root, then ifconfig interfacename (eg. et0 or ppp0) up/down. Normaly shoud do the trick.

    A better long term solution is to reduce the PPPoE retry interval. You should be able to edit the file found at:

    /var/chroot-pppoe/bin/DSL.sh

    I wish Astaro would reduce this from the default 15 minutes, or at least give us a button to push in the GUI.
