[opensuse] Network settings
Very generic question... what is the easiest way to quickly get all the current network info? ie ipaddress, gateway, dns servers etc I have used ifconfig, net and route, but can't seem to find one tool that will tell it all (sorry about the comparison, but like ipconfig /all in win) John. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

ifstatus <network device>
oops to get DNS config as well..... ifstatus <network device> ; cat /etc/resolv.conf should cover most cases... - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.

(sorry about the comparison, but like ipconfig /all in win) ipconfig /all doesn't show routing tables. You still need to use route print in win, which is the same as ifconfig + route in Linux.

ipconfig /all doesn't show routing tables. You still need to use route print in win, which is the same as ifconfig + route in Linux.

Quite frankly the number of times I've needed to look at the routing tables in any os were few - maybe 4 times in 10 years. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Depends on your mileage... I have had to dig into routing tables rather more times than I prefer to think about. I would agree that it is not something one would normally need to see. Unless one really knows what one is doing I would not play with routing tables except at home, otherwise one could have a very p**d off network manager planning when and where to defenestrate one...:-) - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.

In my experience, the routing tables tend to show some very simply failures. As an example, I've seen cases in both Linux and Windows where the default route was incorrect for some reason. Additionally, I think we have seen the need for it on this forum when someone has a comm problem. Certainly ifconfig is very important. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
