InterFace CONFIGuration
/sbin/ifconfig
Mortals simply see information, cannot change stuff
$ /sbin/ifconfig -a lists all interfaces
# ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 up activate the first ethernet interface and assign it the given address
$ man ifconfig for more!
Notes:
There is an entire section in the Linux Network Administrator's Guide about the various functions of /sbin/ifconfig. You can find it at http://tldp.org/LDP/nag2/x-087-2-iface.ifconfig.html
