Allied Telesis AT-2701FTXA/ST, AT-2701FXA/ST manual Configuring an Ethernet Interface on Red Hat

Configuring the Ethernet Interface for Linux Systems

6.Save the /etc/network/interfaces file.

7.Reboot your Linux system.

8.Verify that your AT-2701 series adapter is running 100 Mbps in the full- duplex mode by entering the following command:

ethtool ethx

The command output should display:

Advertised Auto-Negotiation is No Speed is 100

Duplex mode is Full

Configuring an Ethernet Interface on Red Hat

9.Repeat step 8 for all of the Ethernet interfaces of AT-2701 series adapters on your system.

To configure Ethernet interfaces of AT-2701 series fiber optic adapters:

1. Ensure that the ethtool utility is installed on your system.

Note

To verify that the ethtool utility is installed or install the ethtool utility on your system, consult the documentation for your Red Hat distribution.

2.Obtain the name of the Ethernet interface for the AT-2701 series adapter, such as eth0 and eth1, by entering the following command:

ifconfig

You have one Ethernet interface per AT-2701 series adapter card.

Note

To identify the Ethernet interface of the AT-2701 series adapter, match the MAC address of the ethN interface that the ifconfig command displays with one on the label of the shipping package.

3.Create a new file with the name “ifcfg-ethx“ in

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts directory.

For example, if the name of the Ethernet interface that you obtained in step 2 is eth2, then create a new file with the name “ifcfg-eth2.“

4.Edit the ifcfg-ethxfile to include the following information:
