===== Synopsis =====

    ifopen [<interface>] [<interface>...]

===== Notes =====

If you have multiple network interfaces, iPXE may not have enough memory available to open them simultaneously.  You may wish to execute ''[[:cmd:ifclose]]'' to close any other open network interfaces before executing ''ifopen''.
