Bringing up network card

[titan]

I thought ifupdown was depreciated but it is still installed but no ceni, conman or network-manager. The Debian wiki says ifupdown can be used with /etc/network/interfaces but the only file in there is auto lo. It also says it can be used with the interface name so ifup enp6s0 for me but I thought this was all now done using systemctl. Can someone please give the correct commands.
thanks

Thanks but that just adds to the confusion, I do not want to connect wifi.. I just want to know how to bring up a (wired) network card. My router lost power then when restored obviously gave out different IP address, for my PC,  previously I used ifup eth0 but things have moved on, I just rebooted but thought I would ask what the latest command to use today is. I did spent some time looking online but there seems to be lots of various options.

Have you tried

Code Select Expand

systemctl start networking?

To see whether networking is enabled and/or active, try

Code Select Expand

systemctl status networking.

Thanks dibi, all is working fine, I just rebooted but thought I had better know the right command for next time to save a reboot.
