stop/start network using CLI

Hello,

I am installing the VmTools on Endian, the installation scripts needs to stop the network. Off course, /etc/init.d/networking does not exists and so the following command fails:

/etc/init.d/networking stop
/etc/init.d/networking start

What script(s) is/are used to start/stop the network ?

thanks in advance

complete network shutdown like firewall down and all services or only ethernet cards?

if ethernet you can ifup ethx or ifdown ethx ( where x is the ethernet card / or type in the bridge br0 br1 br2... )
maybe this works ...
