You can use the up, down, etc. parameters in the interfaces
configuration file. Read the interfaces(5) man page.
if-down.d, if-pre-up.d, if-post-down.d, and if-up.d directories
are also available under /etc/network/. I don't know where
they are explicitly documented, but run-parts(8) should give
you an idea of how to use them.
