Configuring Red Hat
To configure Ethernet interfaces of AT-2711 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-2711 series adapter, such
as eth0 and eth1, by entering the following command:
ifconfig
You have one Ethernet interface per AT-2711 series adapter card.
Note
To identify the Ethernet interface of the AT-2711 series adapter, match the
MAC address of the eth
N interface that the ifconfig command displays
with one on the label of the shipping package.
3. Create a new file with the name “ifcfg-eth x “ 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-eth x file to include the following information:
