networkctl: Bring network devices up.
$ networkctl up ${interface1 interface2 ---}
try on your machine

The command "networkctl up ${interface1 interface2 ---}" is an example of Network Control, a command-line utility in Linux systems used for managing network connections.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "networkctl": It is the main command that invokes the Network Control utility.

  • "up": It is an option used with the "networkctl" command to bring up one or more network interfaces.

  • "${interface1 interface2 ---}": This part specifies the network interfaces that need to be brought up. "interface1", "interface2", etc. are placeholders for the actual interface names. You should replace them with the actual names of the interfaces you want to activate.

By executing this command, the specified network interfaces will be brought up, enabling network connectivity for those interfaces.
