eth0 eth0 is the network Ethernet connection #0 (Default connection) Used in conjunction with the ifconfi g command. All
changes to the Ethernet connections should only be done using the WEB_ADMIN program or the mcd-menu.pl batch
fi le. To make any changes within the Linux cmd command line interface again is very diffi cult for the average user to
accomplish this task. Full usage commands are listed on page 46.
eth1 eth1 is the network Ethernet connection #1 (Default connection for the Ethernet connection using a crossover cable.)
On the WCCIII-MCD2 it is possible to change the IP confi guration in the Linux command line interface using the ifconfi g command, but it
is strongly recommended that any changes to the IP confi guration is done with the WEB_ADMIN interface or with the mcd-menu program
fi le. See the WEB_ADMIN WCCIII-MCD2 manual for further details.
Ifconfi g is used to confi gure the kernel-resident network interfaces. It is used at boot time to set up interfaces as necessary. After that, it is
usually only needed when debugging or when system tuning is needed.
If no arguments are given, ifconfi g displays the status of the currently active interfaces. If a single interface argument is given, it displays
the status of the given interface only; if a single -a argument is given, it displays the status of all interfaces, even those that are down.
Otherwise, it confi gures an interface.
