Hi folks,

i am using Oracle Red hat linux 6.5 64 bit operating system. but when i fire a command ifconfig -a it shows me no ip address has been assigned to this server except loop back address.then i done the following things

1)
#nm-connection-editor
2)
#service NetworkManager stop
#service NetworkManager start

3)ifconfig -a

but it doesn't show configured IP address even not able to pinh that IP address

Any advice to to configure Ip Address on Redhat linux 6.5 .

Hello Robin,

thanks for reply. i have done the following below thins to configure IP address

1)

#nm-connection-editor

2)

#service NetworkManager stop
#service NetworkManager start

3)ifconfig -a

it is not showing the IP Address which i have configured more over it showing an IP address 192.168.122.1 which is associated to NIC card by name Virbr0

and the out put for the command code which you provided dmesg|grep "node addr" doesn;t give any thing or result.

Note: i have installed Oracle Red Hat linux 6.5 on VM ware .

any advice or suggestion to do.

thanks & Regards.

I know it might odd, but I don't think that you have any network cards, or if you do, they are not assigned to/discovered by your OS.

The device Virbr0 could well be a Virtual Bridge. Is this a virtual server?

Hi robin,

Yes it is VMWare

VMWare Work Station version 8.0.6 build-1035888. i am running Windows 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1 as Host OS.

Oh yes, I should have read to the end of your previous post where you say it's RHEL 6.5 on VMWare. Can you tell us what network cards you have assigned to the RHEL OS, according to the VMWare definition? It would seem that you might not have any.
