The Limited Shell works by prompting you to enter a value, often in response to displayed infor‐
mation. For example, it might display a numbered list and ask you enter the number of the item
you want to choose; or it might request that you enter specific information.

config_network
command.
The current network configuration is displayed. The following data is displayed:
• interfaces, and the status
Enabled
or
Disabled
of each.
• DNS cache status, DNS Search Domain, nameserver. A nameserver is a network server that
provides a naming or directory service, and Hostname configuration.
A prompt is asks if you would like to change the configuration.
3. Enter

to change the network configuration. The Limited Shell then displays several numbered
options.
Table 1
lists these option, and describes the edits that each of the options allows you to perform.

b. At each successive prompt, enter the expected information, for example, item number or
specific value.
c. To move back to the previous prompt, press
Enter
. This will enable you to perform additional
actions before leaving the Limited Shell.
