'How to connect wired Ethernet in terminal?
As we all know, we can connect wired Ethernet by this way. When there is no Ubuntu desktop GUI, however, i have found no way to connect or disconnect that wired Ethernet.
Moreover, i am using campus network. That means what should i do is click "Turn Off" or "Turn On"，and i don't have to enter a broadband account and password.
So are there any terminal commands can realize the clicking of "Turn Off" or "Turn On" ?

Yes you can but using the ifconfig command
Assuming that this is your only port then it will have the tag of eth0
Which will mean the command is
sudo ifconfig eth0 down
Down switches the port off, if I want to turn it on the command is
sudo ifconfig eth0 up
