Network Configuration Files
All of the files used to configure the networks are stored in two locations:
/etc/sysconfig/network /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
Network
Network Scripts
The network scripts defined the configuration for each network adaptor. They are stored in files named ifcfg-<device>, one for each adapter.
These files use directives to configure the network. They are not always used.

| BOOTPROTO | How the IP is determined | STATIC or DHCP |
| BROADCAST | Broadcast Address | Only used for STATIC |

| GATEWAY | Gateway Address | |
| IPADDR | IP Address | Only used for STATIC |
| HWADDR | MAC Address of the device | |
