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.
