NAD710 - Introduction to Networks - Using Linux
Objective
Using the following commands to collect host information and network settings on a Linux Machine:
- hostname
- uname
- /sbin/ifconfig
- /sbin/route
- /sbin/lspci
- /sbin/lsmod
- /sbin/modinfo
Background Information
In order for a computer to communicate with other computers on a local area network, a few network settings must be assigned to the computer. A few more are needed if those computers are on the Internet or other LANs. Follow the steps below to collect the network settings and some useful information of a host in the Matrix Cluster:
- MAC Address
- IP address
- Network Mask
- Broadcast address
- Network address
- IP address(es) of the gateway(s)
- hostname
- list of PCI device
- Network device driver
- Linux Kernel information
You can use the same steps to collect the same information on your own Fedora Core machine.
