Which is the configuration file for network configuration?


Asked by Jayson Palacios on Dec 01, 2021 FAQ



The configuration file resolv.conf at /etc/resolv.conf contains information that allows a computer connected to a network to resolve names into addresses. (Note: Do not confuse this configuration file with the program resolvconf, which unfortunately has a nearly identical name.)
One may also ask,
The file name format of the network interface configuration file is /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth#. So if you want to configure the interface eth0, the file to be edited is /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0.
Indeed, Network Configuration Manager's file configuration management features allow you to: Back up devices’ running and startup network configurations. Set versions and labels for configuration files. Upload configuration files to multiple devices. Schedule configuration backups on an hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
And,
Manual configuration is done by directly modifying the configuration files. You will need to be comfortable with the command-line for this one. However, this will give you the most flexibility and is worth learning. System Config Network is a command-line tool that presents a very basic graphical interface.
Next,
A startup configuration is the version of a configuration file that will be available for uploading once a device is rebooted. A running configuration file is the configuration file that is in use while a device is running; any changes made to this file take immediate effect.
