Reconfigures an instance of a network interface.
The chgif method first modifies the database and then reconfigures the specified network interface instance (InterfaceInstance) by issuing a call to the ifconfig command. Only one interface can be changed per command invocation, and at least one attribute must be specified. This method is not normally used on the command line. Rather, it is called by high-level commands.
Note: The chgif method is a programming tool and should not be executed from the command line.
