Configuring a network interface
To configure an interface permanently you'll need to edit the interfaces file, /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
Note: The addresses below are provided as an example only. ECE-IT will provide the appropriate addresses when a formal request has been received.
Open a terminal window and proceed with the following:
sudo vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
Note: if there are more than one network adapters, you will see multiple interfaces, (e.g. ifcfg-eth1, ifcfg-eth2, etc). Select the one that requires a static configuration.
