Where are NIC (network interface configuration) files located in the Redhat / Fedora / Centos Linux?
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ directory contains network interface configuration information for the Redhat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) / Fedora / CentOS Linux. This is where you configure how your system is connected to the network and the internet. The files are as follows for each interface:
ADVERTISEMENTS
- /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 – First network interface configuration file.
- /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 – Second network interface configuration file.
