Automatic Interface Configuration

• Depends on your distribution

  • RedHat, Mandrake have graphical tools
  • Most configuration files under /etc/sysconfig/
  • Debian, Slackware: command line

• DHCP addresses (server-assigned dynamic addresses)

  • # dhclient eth0 (/etc/dhclient.conf)
  • # ifup eth0 (configuration files in /etc/network)

• DIY interface handling (!)

  • Just put the commands you need in a script
