Setting IP di Linux

ehm… setelah mikir mo corat-coret apaan, akhirnya judul ini aja yang tak jadikan coretan pertama di kategori networking…
Dari beberapa setting yang pernah tak lakukan, untuk setting ip di linux cukup sederhana.
Ada 2 cara :
1. Langsung ketikan perintah berikut
# ifconfig <interface> <ipaddress> netmask <netmask>
misal :
# ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
Tapi cara ini tidak disarankan, karena perintah diatas tidak merubah script network, sehingga ketika mesin di restart maka, konfigurasi diatas hilang.
Hal ini bisa diatasi dengan menuliskan perintah diatas kedalam startup linux yaitu di /etc/rc.local
misal :
# cat ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 >> /etc/rc.local
2. Cara yang kedua ini lebih disarankan, karena kita langsung mengedit file konfigurasi network nya yaitu di /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
misal :
# nano /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
maka akan mucul konfigurasi berikut
DEVICE=eth0 //interface
ONBOOT=yes //dibaca waktu booting
BOOTPROTO=static //tipe protokol (static/dhcp)
IPADDR=192.168.100.1 //alamat ip
NETMASK=255.255.255.0 //netmask
GATEWAY=192.168.100.1 //gateway jika perlu
Keluar dan simpan dari editor nano dengan perintah Ctrl+X
Lalu restart service networknya
# service network restart
Cek ip dengan perintah ifconfig
#ifconfig
Nah…. begitulah ceritanya..
catatan konfigurasi diatas menggunakan Fedora Core 6 dengan editor nano
Klo masih ada kurangnnya mohon dikoreksi….
