The system switches the device online automatically when it has the requisite information.

This example shows configuring the newly-installed NEM Ethernet interface eth2 to be IP address 10.1.10.156, which is declared in what used to be known as a Class C (8-bit/255-node) local area network (or LAN).
Note that the inet addr shows the following:
TCP IPv4 address 10.1.10.156 as specified in the ifconfig command
IPv6 address has been automatically derived (in this example, Linux is configured to also support IPv6 network communications)
Reported state now shows up
See the ifconfig(8) man page for more details and other options on using the ifconfig command to configure Ethernet interfaces.

Note - In this example, 10.1.10 LAN traffic is being routed through the newly-configured NEM eth2 network interface.

Note the 10.1.10 local area network via eth2 is no longer available, but that the eth2 network interface itself is still present (but no longer in up state, packet counters now zero again).
