Exam LX0-104 topic 5 question 2 discussion

The ifconfig command can be used to manually assign an IP address to a network interface in some Unix-like systems (e.g., Linux, macOS, BSD). For example, to assign the IP address 192.168.0.100 to the interface eth0, you can use the following command: ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.100 Note that this method of assigning an IP address is temporary and will be lost upon rebooting the system. To make the IP address assignment permanent, you would typically add the command to your network configuration file, such as /etc/network/interfaces on a Debian-based system, or /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 on a Red Hat-based system.
