To display the details for a interface, use ifconfig interface_name: TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:10760 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 RX packets:20690 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Without any option, ifconfig displays info for all the network interfaces:Įth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0c:29:5d:83:c7 Ifconfig displays the IP address, netmask, broadcast, MAC address and other usefull info. How to display network information with ifconfig: The network changes you make with ifconfig will be discarded at reboot. Ifconfig is a an “old” generical command for setting temporary IP addresses all over the Unix systems.

However, I'm thinking by now you already figured this out.In Linux and Unix, the IP adresses can be set temporary or persistent (stored in the configuration file). In summary, you'll want to be careful and key off indicators such as in ifconfig noting: status: no carrier vs active and for those with IP assignment on the individual interface, you can match via the inet address. I have exhibited the following alignment where ext-1 = em2 (from the list of em0, em1, em2, and em3) For instance ( color coding used to emphasize what one *may* expect):Įven the InfiniBand ports don't align as you *may* expect:ġ) When you have the 2 on-board (Cu) 1gig interfaces, the numbering while it doesn't match, is at least aligning in ascending order: ( em0 = ext-1 and em1 = ext-2)Ģ) However, notice the 10gig interfaces where while cxgb1 = 10gige-1 (number reference matches), *but* then cxgb0 = 10gige-2 which doesn't match the ascending order.ģ) This changes when you have 4x (Cu) 1gig interfaces (2x onboard + 2x expansion). Simply wanted to point out that mapping the (individual) interface names at the OS level (via ifconfig) to the naming used by OneFS could be a bit confusing.
