# Setting up Networking
|
|
The first step in setting up our network is to determine the name of
|
|
the network device that we are going to connect with. We're goind to
|
|
start by running the `ip` command to list our interfaces, and then once
|
|
that is done we can move on to setting up our connection in one of the
|
|
following subsections for *wired* or *wireless* as appropriate.
|
|
```Sh
|
|
ip link show
|
|
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
|
|
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
|
|
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
|
|
link/ether dc:a6:32:2a:97:94 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
|
|
3: wlan0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state DOWN mode DORMANT group default qlen 1000
|
|
link/ether ca:d0:a4:6c:cf:5d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff permaddr dc:a6:32:2a:97:95
|
|
```
|
|
The results for `1: lo ...` represent the *loopback* interface. We also
|
|
see an ethernet device `eth0` and a wireless device `wlan0`. To configure
|
|
the ethernet interface `eth0` go ahead to the section
|
|
[wired](wired.md). If instead you intend to use the wireless interface
|
|
`wlan0` proceeed to section [wireless](wireless.md).
