177.It Ar interface
178This
179parameter is a string of the form
180.Dq name unit ,
181for example,
182.Dq Li ed0 .

257Mark an interface
258.Dq down .
259When an interface is marked
260.Dq down ,
261the system will not attempt to
262transmit messages through that interface.
263If possible, the interface will be reset to disable reception as well.
264This action does not automatically disable routes using the interface.
