how to configure redhat 8.0 network from command line?

[alan123]

If I cannot start x-windows on redhat 8.0, how can I setup the network from command line? as redhat-config-network needs to be running from xwindow.

Did you try "netconfig"? Not sure if this still available on RH9 though.

Else you can go back to basics and use the ifconfig command.

Hi,

run dmesg to check what type of NIC you have. Then you can use ifconfig command to config your card manually. EXAMPLE;

ifconfig eth0 10.20.10.10 netmask 255.255.0.0 broadcast 10.200.255.255 up.

I was unable to start xwindow, and eth0 just transmit timed out, how can I enable/disable network card from command line?

ifup eth0 or ifdown eth0 will start/stop it
