Linux network interfaces are commonly named eth0, eth1, ... ethx. These names do not describe the interface hardware, so they do not tell us what kind of hardware eth0 or eth1 is…
pcap files from tcpdump or network devices are binary and cannot be read in ordinary text editors. tcpdump can read them directly from the Linux console.
There are several ways to disable IPv6. The recommended method is to edit /etc/sysctl.conf rather than disable the IPv6 module, which causes problems with SELinux and other components…
If wget reports unable to resolve host address, first test network connectivity, then check whether wget is trying IPv6 on a machine without IPv6 access.
TShark is a network protocol analyzer, the text-mode version of Wireshark, that captures live network packets and helps analyze traffic.
If dig, host, or nslookup is missing on your Linux machine, you may have used a minimal installation on CentOS 6 or RHEL 6, or selected no packages during installation.
Coova chilli is hotspot software that I believe branched from Chilli hotspot, which appears to have stopped development. RPM files for RedHat Enterprise or CentOS can be hard to find.
Channel bonding combines network interface cards to increase bandwidth, provide failover or load balancing, or use 802.3ad port trunking. It also supports VLANs, or 802.1q.
wpa_cli is included in the wpa_supplicant package. It checks status and changes configuration, including trigger events and passphrases for wireless connections.
Wake on LAN starts a server through a network command from another machine. Configure both the server receiving the wake command and the client sending it.
Linux supports VLAN networking through the 8021q driver. This example combines channel bonding and VLAN configuration.
Use netcat to test a connection by opening a socket on the server and connecting from a client on the network.
Use scp, sftp, and ssh with IPv6 addresses by enclosing the address in square brackets, as demonstrated with fe80::219:99ff:fe20:c251.
With multiple virtual network interfaces, bringing one interface down may also bring down others. This example uses eth0:0, eth0:1, eth0:2, and eth0:3.
Use netstat to view network details with the command below. [root@example ~]# netstat -tuanpeeoT Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local…
The previous article on installing MRTG with IOSTAT adapted monitoring-tool commands for use with MRTG. This differs from the usual approach of using SNMP to send status information…
This MRTG setup adapts monitoring tools to display hardware status. Scripts are needed for each hardware metric; this article uses IOSTAT tools.
There are several ways to change a Red Hat or Red Hat clone hostname, including hostname without restarting the network service.
