Ifconfig
1.
Verify that the machine’s interfaces are up and have an IP address using the
ifconfig
command:
[root@sleipnir root]# ifconfig

The above machine is running normally. The first line of output shows that the Ethernet interface
eth0 has a layer 2 (MAC or hardware) address of 00:0C:6E:0A:3D:26. This confirms that the device
driver is able to connect to the card, as it has read the Ethernet address burned into the network
card’s ROM. The next line shows that the interface has an IP address of 192.168.168.11, and the
subnet mask and broadcast address are consistent with the machine being on network
192.168.168.0.
