ifconfig_em1_100="up"

from network.subr:

# get_if_var if var [default]
# Return the value of the pseudo-hash corresponding to $if where
# $var is a string containg the sub-string "IF" which will be
# replaced with $if after the characters defined in _punct are
# replaced with '_'. If the variable is unset, replace it with
# $default if given.
