Explain network configuration files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts.

41.Explain network configuration files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts.
Ans.
1. We can use the files in this directory to set the parameters for the hardware and software used for networking.

2. These scripts are used to enable network interface and set other network-related parameters.

3. Ifcfg-networkinterfacename
Red hat specifies a separate configuration file for each network interface.
In typical Red hat install, we have many different network interface configuration files that all follow the same basic syntax and format.

4. ifup and ifdown
These files are symlinks to /sbin/ifup and /sbin/ifdown, these scripts are called when the network service is started or stopped.
We call the scripts with the name of interface that we want to bring up or down.
For instance, to bring Ethernet interface down and up again after boot, we will type command
Ifup eth0
Ifdown eth0

Explain process of setting up a NIC (Network interface card).

44.Explain process of setting up a NIC (Network interface card). Ans. 1. Network interface card (NIC) can be set-up by configuring the network card and internal network. 2. Before configuring network card we must check loopback (IP address 127.0.0.1) is working. 3. Even if the compute is not connected to outside network internet network configuration is required for some applications. This address is known as loopback device, and its IP address is 127.0.0.1 4. To check loopback device is configured or not, we use ‘ifconfig’ command it shows a device called ‘lo’ with the address 127.0.0.1, if this device and address is not shown there then loopback is not configured. 5. To configure it we can use command ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 after that we need to use the ‘route’ command to give system a little more information about this interface for this ‘route add –net 127.0.0.0’ command is used, after this loopback is setup. 6. To configure a network card we will use ifconfig co...
