Ganesh,

ifconfig will give you the ip address: ifconfig lan0, for example.

nslookup will give you the hostname associated with an ip address: nslookup 100.101.102.103, for example.

the info is in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

You should also have the IP Address and FQDN and short name in /etc/hosts

Hi Ganesh,

'ifconfig lanx' is the command you are looking for.

netstat -in will also give the information on all the lancards and the IP addresses associated with it.

Hostname will be only one on the box. If the server has multiple lan cards and multiple address, each address may have a different DNS name. An 'nslookup' can give you the name corresponding to the IP address which is displayed in 'netstat -i' output.

'hostname' gives the hostname of the server.

Use lanscan to get the 'lan?' for each card.

The use 'ifconfig lan?' (where lan? = lan0, lan1, whatever') to get the IP address.

You could then use 'nslookup ip.addy' to get the hostname.

or use

netstat -in

Use lanscan to check out your lancard(s) and then ifconfig lanX

Hi

IP Address:
1. #ioscan -fnC lan
Find out the device number from the output. Ex.: lan0, lan2 etc.

2. #ifconfig lanX where X is to be substituted accordingly

Hostname: This is unique to a machine and not to a networkcard. For finding out the hostname,

1. #hostname
