CentOS - Nov 2013 - restarting network interface

I googled to see how I might restart the network interface in CentOS.  I
initially tried before googling:

sudo service network restart

I noticed that only the loopback interface was restarted.  To confirm this
I did:

service network stop

and then did

ifconfig

and the loopback info was gone.  I then found ifconfig eth0 up/down and
tried those and that did what I is was looking for.  Why doesn't
"service
network restart" restart all interfaces?

Thanks,

Hi,

The most likely answer is that your interface is not enabled.

Try someting like

cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-em1

You will see for a disabled interface ONBOOT="no"

Change the no to a yes and you should be good :)
