Configure network IP via CLI?


In FC6, what file contains the network configuration? In Slackware it was something like /etc/rc.d/rc.inetd.conf. I know I can configure it using ifconfig, but I'd like to know what the actual config file(s) are.

assuming things haven't changed since the RH9 days, each interface has it's own config file:
Code:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<interface>
for example, the configuration for eth0 would be:
Code:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
once again, this assumes things haven't changed since RH9... oh, and IIRC the gateway is set in the /etc/sysconfig/network file...
