Verifying That the Adapter Is Properly Conﬁgured and Enabled

Use the installation tool that comes with your operating system to install and conﬁgure

the adapter.

You can use the ifconfig -a command to verify the conﬁguration information, as

follows:

systemA:~ # ifconfig -a

eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:60:DD:47:81:24

inet addr:10.0.0.1 Bcast:10.0.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

inet6 addr: fe80::260:ddff:fe47:8124/64 Scope:Link

UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:9000 Metric:1

RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000

RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

Base address:0x3020 Memory:b9160000-b9180000

For more information on ifconfig, see the ifconfig(8) man page.

Resetting the Adapter

In the unlikely event that you need to reset the adapter, enter the following:

ifconfig <interface> down

ifconfig <

interface> up

where interface is name of the interface. This is usually a driver name followed by a

unit number, for example, ifconfig eth0 down, for the ﬁrst Ethernet interface.

For more information on ifconfig, see the ifconfig(8) man page.
