To set or read settings of a network interface in UNIX you use the ifconfig command. To see all interfaces in a system type:
$ ifconfig -a
Specific interfaces can be viewed as well:
$ ifconfig hme0
ifconfig is also used in the case of a virtual interface (in this case off the third physical interface on a Linux box):
$ ifconfig eth2:1
