How do I configure the Linux® network card?
Linux® network card settings are often performed automatically via the hardware detection software that comes with mostly modern Linux® distribution. However, there may be opportunities if the network card is not automatically configured correctly, or if you want to configure the second network card with Linux®. In any case, there are several primary means to work with a network card configuration, either using a graphical user interface (GUI) or command line interface (CLI).
Using GUI Linux® distribution will provide the most amazing and simplest means to configure your Linex® network card. However, this may vary depending on the Linux® environment for your distribution. In most cases, Linux® distribution will use GNOME® or desktop environment (where®), each with a software GUI to configure your network. KNETworkmanager does TOS work for Desktop Kama, while in Gnome® it is called Networkmanager. Both offeredThe ability to configure the already detected network card with network parameters, IP address information, and add a new network card.
work from CLI to set up a network card using Linux®, however, first you want to find out if your network card is already in operation by issuing the iFonfig order in the terminal application. If the command is entered without any arguments, it will release all current interfaces and their settings. The two most common are ETH0 , the first Ethernet network card in the system, and loopback, which is a virtual software interface. The iFonfig command can then be used to permit or deactivate the interface and change the IP address or other network information. For example, for setting the IP address of the ETH0 IP address, you would issue the following ifconfig command.
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.10 NetMask 255.255.255.0 UP
From left to right, the first parameter is the editing interface, eth0 , then the IP address that assigns to it, and then the undernet to which the computer belongs. The final parameter provided by IfConfig is either "up" or "down" that says to the computer to enable or deactivate a network card. Be sure to check the appropriate settings for your network, such as the type of network, subnet, any gateway routers to compose the correct command.
6 You want to solve it, the Linux® distribution implements various scripts and files that will do it automatically every time the computer scoops. The location and names of these scripts and configuration files will vary according to your Linux® distribution, so make sure to check them for which files to edit. By adjusting these configuration files in the text editor, the operating system then automatically loads the appropriate network configuration.
