ifdown/ifup under FreeBSD?

[Sandra Kachelmann]

Under RedHat Linux I can configure an interface, routes and so on in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1,
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/routes-eth1 then simply run:

$ ifup eth1

and it will set all the routes/netconfig/aliases I just configured.

Is there something similar in FreeBSD?

I tried configuring aliases in /etc/rc.conf and running:

$ /etc/rc.d/netif restart

but that just ended in errors that the route was already configured
and so on. Sure I could do all the work manually with ifconfig and
route but that's not my question.
