You can configure the network interface for the Oracle or Red Hat Enterprise Linux platform by using the GUI or manually editing the configuration file.
This procedure describes how to manually edit the configuration file. For instructions on configuring the network interface using the GUI, refer to the documentation for your Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL) version at http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/install/index.html or RHEL version at: http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/index.html
For OEL or RHEL systems, the interface configuration files are named ifcfg-ethn (for example., ifcfg-eth2 for the eth2 network device as shown in preceding examples). They reside in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts system directory.
host #> ls -l /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ total 392-rw-r--r-- 3 root root 116 Oct 10 12:40 ifcfg-eth0 -rw-r--r-- 3 root root 187 Oct 10 12:40 ifcfg-eth1 -rw-r--r-- 3 root root 127 Oct 21 16:46 ifcfg-eth2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 254 Mar 3 2008 ifcfg-lo [...] host #>cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2 # Sun NEM/Hydra 10GbE DEVICE=eth2 BOOTPROTO=static HWADDR=00:14:4F:29:00:1D IPADDR=10.1.10.156 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 ONBOOT=no
This sample eth2 ifcfg file was created by hand using a text editor. The first line # Sun NEM Hydra 10GbE is a comment that is useful in keeping track of different files. For this particular example, ONBOOT=no is specified, which means that the network interface is not brought online (up) automatically when the system is booted. Specifying ONBOOT=yes would be the normal configuration.
host #> ifconfig eth2 up
or
host #> ifup eth2
