Hi Folks,

I am new in linux and using RHEL 7. I completed the installation and tried to set the IP address for the system. But I am not able to find eth0 while doing ifconfig. Instead I can see ens33 and ens38 like that. I created two network adapter for the system.

Please help me to assign IP address for my system.

Thanks & Regards,
Sonu

Hello and welcome to LQ.

RH has a ton on information on their site and clones of that on the Centos/Scientific sites. One change that many distro's have gone to is to use a consistent naming scheme like BSD has used for decade.

Here is the source. https://access.redhat.com/documentat..._device_naming

A bit confused here; if you're brand new to Linux, why are you using RHEL 7? That is designed for servers (typically), and not workstations. Further, RHEL 7 is not free...are you paying for it? If so, contact Red Hat support for assistance.

And how did you come up with what the ethernet name is? Where did you hear eth0? Because you have posted two ethernet devices, ens33 and ens38....have you tried either of them? And how did you 'create' network adapters? They are typically created at system boot time, depending on hardware. What are you trying to do??

If your goal is to just learn Linux, then make life easy on yourself and load Fedora (to stay within the Red Hat ecosystem). It is FREE, and you will be able to use online repositories, which you will NOT be able to do unless you pay for RHEL. You can do the same things, and use 99% of the same commands on Fedora as you can on RHEL, so for learning it's just as good.
