How to disable a IP / NIC

[praveen..]

Hi,
I have two IP assigned to server in two network cards.


I want to disable the first network card.

How can I do it?

Please suggest
thanks

Something like:

ifconfig lan0 down

should do it. Of course you have to substitute your interface for lan0.

sam -> networking and communications -> network interface cards, then select the card, then action -> disable

should get it

Hi,
although ifconfig lanX down should do it,

If you want the change to be persistent after reboots, comment out the relevant entries in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

Cheers
