At the Rescue prompt (#), type the following command, then press Enter to display all network
interfaces.
# ifconfig -a
The output of the Linux SUSE named and physical named network interfaces appear. See the
following sample output in Step 5 as an example.
If you have multiple network interfaces and the output of interfaces scrolls o the top of the
screen, you can display the output per interface.
To view the output per network interface, type the following command at the prompt, then
press Enter:
# ifconfig eth#
where eth# is the interface number. For example, if you type:
# ifconfig eth0
The output for eth0 appears.
In the sample output above:
■
The eth0 entry in the rst column refers to the Linux SUSE logical named interface. This rst
column in the output identies the logical names SUSE assigned to the network interface.
■
The HWaddr 00.14.4F.0C:A1:53 entry in the second column (rst row) refers to the physical
MAC address of the network port.
Note – This MAC address is an example; the MAC addresses in your server will be dierent.
Record the SUSE logical network interface name with the physical port MAC address for future
reference.
You need to refer to this record when conguring the network interfaces during the Linux
SUSE OS installation.
