How to Configure a Network Interface Card in Linux?

 

 

This guide explains how to configure a network interface card in Linux. If you are using a modern Linux distribution, chances are your network card will be detected automatically and configured for DHCP.

 

However, there may be instances where you are forced to configure your network interface card manually. This guide explains the step by step process to configure a network interface card in Fedora Linux.

 

Fedora Linux (including Red Hat Enterprise Linux) has a collection of tools to aid you in configuring a network interface card. They are:

 

  • System-config-network - This is the network administration tool in Fedora Linux and is an easy way to make changes to the various network interface configuration files.
  • System-config-network-tui - This is the command line equivalent of the above tool.
  • nm-connection-editor - NetworkManager GUI applet

 

Using any one of the above tools, you can configure your network.

NetworkManager GUI Applet Intorduction

 

NetworkManager Applet - nm-connection-editor, is versatile tool that allows you to configure not just Ethernet, ISDN, or Modem connections. It also supports configuration of Wireless and Mobile network connections.

 

NetworkManager provides automatic network detection and configuration for the system. Once enabled, the NetworkManager service also monitors the network interfaces, and may automatically switch to the best connection at any given time.

 

In fact this is the recommended and user friendly method of configuring your network interface card in Fedora Linux. You can also configure your network interface card by manually editing the configuration files.
