Well in linux you would do something like this:

ifconfig <dev>

If you want an alias it is:

ifconfig <dev>:<alias>

If you don't specify a parameter such as up it will just display the 
current config.
If there is no current config it just display the default.

So in short, no Linux will not do what you ran into. At least not in the 
same manner.

On any init.d based Linux system (gentoo, redhat, suse) the only thing I 
have found
really annoying is that it doesn't confirm for the following:

/etc/init.d/network stop

I have more than once, really late at night typed that command when 
meaning to be

/etc/init.d/sendmail stop

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
