		+	The ifconfig command allows much more control over the network settings. In its simplest use it lists all currently active network adapters. Adding the '-a' flag will list all available adapters.

−	The ifconfig command ~~allows~~ much more control over the network ~~settings~~. I	+	If you want to see the details of the specific adapter this can be passed to ifconfig. To see only the configuartion of eth0 run 'ifconfig eth0'

		+	=== Configuration using ifconfig ===
		+
		+	The ifconfig command gives much more control over the network connections. The command can be used to change a wise variety of options by passsing the correct flag.
		+
		+	As an example to change the ip address of eth1 to 172.28.0.5 you could run:
		+
		+	<syntaxhighlight>
		+	ifconfig eth1 172.28.0.5
		+	</syntaxhighlight>
		+
		+	There are too many options to show examples of here, but the options available are shown in the table:

		+	{\| class="wikitable"

		+	\|Orange \|\| Apple
		+	\|-
