The redhat-configure-network GUI has enable/disable buttons for each
interface.  From the command line it is:
ifdown interface
ifup   interface
Where interface will be eth0 or eth1, whichever goes to the external
side.  Those are RedHat-specific scripts that will pick up a dhcp
address, add routes, or whatever else might be configured.
