One of the linux network configuration part is to setup DNS , to do this you need to edit
/etc/resolv.conf -- DNS Configuration in linux
-----
search yourdomain.com
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
-----
Secondly you might need to edit the host file
/etc/hosts
---
127.0.0.1 localhost
---
For fedora and redhat , you can use an easy GUI tool for linux network configuration .
command : /usr/sbin/system-config-network
After running this command you can simply select the interface to edit and configure
Also from text mode you can configure linux networking using ifconfig tool like
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 192.168.75.50 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.75.255
For debian Just edit /etc/network/interfaces and put like-------------------------# The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.75.50 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.75.0 broadcast 192.168.75.255
----------------------
save and exit , then restart network service ussuing command "/etc/init.d/network restart".
For alias ip configuration just follow the smae steps except assign ip address in virtual interface like eth1:1 , eth1:2..etc.
