network --blink

Description

The command blinks the LED on the specific ethernet device.

Syntax

network --blink --nwif <ethN> --time <N>

--nwif Eth interface to blink.
--time Blink duration time in seconds (default 10, max 300).

For example, to blink the LED for eth3, run the command: network --blink --nwif eth3 --time 30

Result

Check the LED on the ethernet card on the back of the system for identification.

network --enable

Description

The command starts the specific ethernet device(s) on restart.

Syntax

network --enable [--bondif <bond0,bond1,...,bondN>]
[--nwif <eth0,eth1,...,ethN>]

--bondif Bond interface(s) to delete.
--nwif Eth interface(s) to dele

For example, to enable eth2, run the command: network --enable --nwif eth2

Result

Interface device operation successful. Please restart networking for the changes to take effect.
