To access the data and if you wanted to work with the networking system the it is necessary to implement the ethernet card into your computer system.

It performs a vital role to create the network and the networks defines the connection of network configuration.If you are connected with two ethernet card into your system then you can get two IP addresses and can run upon two different networks.

The ethernet card defines your path of network.

If you are connected with a fresh ethernet card and you need to configure the ethernet card in linux then you have to do the following steps :

1- `Execute getadapters to find the adapter information and generate the stanza file using the command :
getadapters -t ent -z /csminstall/tmp/mystanzafile -n clstrn01
2- This command searches for Ethernet adapters on node clstrn01 and puts the evaluated contents in the stanza file.
/csminstall/tmp/mystanzafile
3- Now edit the stanza file and add the required parameters in the files
4- Save with the full path name of the stanza file with appropriate node definition and run the file with the following command :
getadapters -W -f mystanzafile
5- Now,just configure the adapters and execute the updatenode command with the -c option:

updatenode -c -n clstrn01

There are so many commands and methods are being used to configure the ethernet card connected with your system.You can perform it with the different manner and environment,some of them are defined here through which you can control on the configuration :

• GUI tool system-config-network
• Command line tool system-config-network-tui
