ifup: Enable interface eth0.

ifup

$ ifup ${eth0}

try on your machine

The command ifup ${eth0} is used to bring up the network interface named eth0.

In Linux, network interfaces are typically referred to using names like eth0, eth1, wlan0, etc. The ifup command is used to activate or bring up a specified network interface, enabling it to send and receive network traffic.

In the given command, ${eth0} is a variable that holds the name of the network interface, which is being passed as an argument to the ifup command. The actual value of the variable will be replaced with the corresponding network interface's name when the command is executed.

So, when you run ifup ${eth0}, it will bring up the network interface specified by the value of the eth0 variable, allowing it to connect to the network and start functioning.
