you might want to investigate /sbin/ip - its been around for a few years now, no reason why people should not be using that these days :)
Thanks, I shall. But as this is a production server, is there something that /sbin/ip will do for me that /sbin/ifconfig was unable to?
Make life a lot easier and a lot more functional ?
I concur, with the caveat that AFAIK, the RHEL standard networking scripts still do things the old way with ifconfig.
