During installation and configuration of the Oracle or Red Hat Enterprise Linux OS, you reach a point where you must enter the logical and physical names (MAC addresses) of the network interfaces.
This section explains how to launch a user shell during the Linux configuration to obtain the logical and physical network interface names that you need to continue with the configuration.
The Choose a Language screen appears.
The Keyboard Type screen appears.
The Setup Network screen appears.
The Rescue screen appears.
The user shell appears.
# ifconfig -a
The output of the Linux named network interfaces appear.
If you have multiple network interfaces and the output of interfaces scrolls off the top of the screen, you can display the output per interface.
# ifconfig eth#
where eth# is the interface number. For example, if you type:
# ifconfig eth0
the output for eth0 appears:
Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:14:4F:0C:A1:F2 inet addr:192.168.2.103 Bcast:192.168.2.255
