ifup [interface] = ifconfig [interface] up ?

I'm wondering about the differences, or similarities, between the following two commands:

Code:

ifup [interface]

and

Code:

ifconfig [interface] up

And, in Fedora, the command,

Code:

 ifstatus [interface]

doesn't seem to be present. I found ifstatus to be part of SUSE. Is that command distro specific, or am I missing some network util packages?
Thanks.

Nobody is interested?
