sudoers rule to start and stop eth interface

Question

I got syntax error when i add this rules to sudoers :

ifdown eth0:1
ifup eth0:1

I also try with :

ifdown eth0\:1
ifup eth0\:1

And:

ifdown "eth0:1"
ifup "eth0:1"

How to allow a non root user to start and stop the eth0:1 interface ?

Why you are adding the network command to your sudoers files? — GAD3R, Sep 29 '17 at 08:30
username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/sbin/ifdown eth0:1,/sbin/ifup eth0:1 — Sagar, Sep 29 '17 at 08:37

Create a new file in /etc/sudoers.d with visudo -f /etc/suoders.d/mysudo and replace username with your username
username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/sbin/ifdown eth0\:1,/sbin/ifup eth0\:1
