Basic Network Configuration

Filed under: Linux, Unix, and Solaris |

Configuring networking on Linux, Unix and Solaris systems is easy. It is accomplished in two easy steps. Note: “#” is the command prompt.

#ifconfig [interface] [ip address] netmask [netmask]
- E.g. ( solaris 8 ) #ifconfig dmfe0 10.0.1.20 netmask 255.255.255.0
#route add default [ip address to default gateway] [interface]
- E.g. ( solaris 8 ) #route add default 10.0.1.1 dmfe0
So basically you add an IP address that is on the same subnet as your default gateway, then make the default gateway the default route. Pretty easy.
