ifc_mcdma_netdev driver supports the ethtool and ifconfig and ip utilities to configure and manage the device.
IP Reset
IP reset is performed through the sysfs attribute file mcdma_ipreset.

ifconfig support
By using ifconfig, the driver supports bring-down and bring-up of the device. To supportthese operations, the driver overrides ndo_open and ndo_stop operations of the device.
Bring-down of the device
When you bring down the device by using ifconfig command, the kernel changes the state of the device to DOWN state and executes the registered call back. As a result of the callback functionality, the driver stops the TX queue, disables the interrupts and releases the acquired channels and all the internal resources allocated to the device.

Bring-up of the device
When you bring up the device by using ifconfig command, the kernel changes the state of the device to “UP” state and executes the registered call back. As a result of the callback functionality, the driver starts the TX queue, acquires and enables channels and corresponding interrupts.
