HP XC System Software Administration Guide Version 3.2

22.6.7.1 Verifying the Ethernet Port
Use the ifconfig command to verify that the Ethernet port for the NIC that you incorporated
into the HP XC system is functioning correctly:
# ifconfig eth2
eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:02
inet addr:192.0.2.2 Bcast:192.0.2.100 Mask:255.255.248.0
