DEVICE=eth0

ONBOOT=yes

BOOTPROTO=none

USERCTL=no

PEERDNS=no

IPADDR=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx*

NETMASK=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx*

GATEWAY=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx*

NETWORK=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx*

BROADCAST=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx*

*Enter the information, such as an IP address, for your own network for each of these fields.

f. For DHCP:

USERCTL=no
