ifconfig:socket: Error

I have a rp5450 server. The server got stuck and I rebooted the system.After the reboot the the network is not working.Fails at boot process.
I booted the machine to single user mode and I tried to up the interface using "ifconfig lan0 up" and I got following error.
ifconfig:socket:Operation not supported.
I tried the to start the net service also and I got following
"Error:lan0 interface:Socket:Operationnot supported.

Please help me to come out of this.

Re: ifconfig:socket: Error

follow these stpes:

ifconfig lan0 plumb
ifconfig lan0 ip.ip.ip.ip netmask net.net.net.net
ifconfig lan0 up


But if network didn't start properly there may be other errors, check in syslog.log and rc.log
