The CentOS Project is a community-driven free software effort focused on delivering a robust open source ecosystem. For users, CentOS offers a consistent manageable platform that suits a wide variety of deployments. For open source communities, CentOS offers a solid, predictable base to build upon, along with extensive resources to build, test, release, and maintain their code.

2. Network Interface Configuration
DHCP or Static:
Step 1 » Check the network interface name by typing below command
[root@linux1 ~]# ip a
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000 link/ether 9a:4a:27:66:a4:4c brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 10.9.1.26/24 brd 10.91.128.255 scope global eth0 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 fe80::984a:27ff:fe66:a44c/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever |
Here “lo” is the loopback interface and “eth0” is the network interface that you need to configure .
Step 2 » you can see the file named ifcfg-eth0 ( Interface name ) in the location “/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/” , open the file and you can see the lines as below, which is static ip 10.9.1.26 assigned to interface eth0
DEVICE=”eth0″
HWADDR=”00:22:19:09:4D:3C” NM_CONTROLLED=”yes” ONBOOT=”yes” # Interface enabled BOOTPROTO=”dhcp” #Assigning IP from DHCP |
Step 3 » Start the network service and you can see the status as below .
[root@linux1~]# service network start
Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ]
Bringing up interface p4p1:
Determining IP information for p4p1... done. [ OK ]
