The device names for real network interfaces in Linux are named ethx (x is 0–9). If the device has a switch, the different ports are separated via VLAN technology. The vlan interfaces are named ethx.y. The network configuration in FreeWRT is managed via Busybox's ifupdown implementation. Busybox's builtin ip command configures the network interfaces. There is no ifconfig or route, you can activate it in the ADK menu, if you like.
To show all configured network interfaces use:
[label=show IP address] $ ip addr showTo show the kernel routing table use:
[label=show routing table] $ ip route show
All available network settings can be found in /etc/network/interfaces which has the common form:
[label=common form of \file{/etc/network/interfaces}]
auto <iface-name>
iface <iface-name> inet <method>
<option-x> <value>
<option-y> <value>
<option-z> <value>
<b>ATTENTION: Be sure you have no whitespaces at the and of any value!</b>
auto <iface-name> is optional and, if set, tells the ifup script to start this interface automatically on bootup.
Each interface needs a unique name which, depending on the method, represents either a physical interface or a logical interface name like eth0.1 for a physical VLAN or umts as a logical name for a PPP interface.
Possible methods are:
