the ifconfig long way round results in the same output as the if up


ip link show

eth0: <LOOPBACK,UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:50:8b:61:6f:2c brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
4: sit0: <NOARP> mtu 1480 qdisc noop
    link/sit 0.0.0.0 brd 0.0.0.0
9: eth2_ifrename: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff


my interfaces file looks like this

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# This is a list of hotpluggable network interfaces.
# They will be activated automatically by the hotplug subsystem.
m#apping eth0
#       script grep
#       map eth0

# The primary network interface
#allow-hotplug eth0
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet loopback

#auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp

iface eth2 inet dhcp
