Using Configuration Files
Follow the steps below to edit the network configuration files and set your computer IP address.

eth0 configuration file (where eth0 is the name of the Ethernet card). Open the
configuration file with any plain text editor.
• If you have a dynamic IP address, enter dhcp in the BOOTPROTO= field. The following
figure shows an example.

DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
USERCTL=no
PEERDNS=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
• If you have a static IP address, enter static in the BOOTPROTO= field. Type IPADDR=

the subnet mask. The following example shows an example where the static IP address is
192.168.100.10 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
