Red Hat 9.0: Dynamic IP Address Setting in ifconfig-eth0  

• If you have a static IP address, enter 

 in the BOOTPROTO= field. Type IPADDR= followed 

by the IP address (in dotted decimal notation) and type NETMASK= followed by the subnet 
mask. The following example shows an example where the static IP address is 192.168.1.10 
and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.

If you know your DNS server IP address(es), enter the DNS server information in the resolv.conf 
file in the /etc directory. The following figure shows an example where two DNS server IP 
addresses are specified.
