Redhat Linux IP configuration eth0

Find the file ifcfg-eth0 normally in the directory /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/

If an static ip address is used it should look something like:


DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=yes
NETWORK=10.0.1.0
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
IPADDR=10.0.1.27
USERCTL=no


When DHCP is used it should look like:

DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes


After the ifcfg-eth0 file is changed the network must be restarted this can be done with the following command:

service network restart

Did this post help you in any way can you please leave a comment? This will motivate me writing more posts.

    Hi,

    This helped a bit. But could you also explain how to set up the dhcp server in linux so that eth0 gets a Class C address
