Run the ifconfig command to configure the network interface on the IP address Linux assigned to the SmartLynq+ Module. Linux assigns the IP address as 10.0.0.2. Run ifconfig to view the currently active network interfaces on this system. For example:
eth0	 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr D7:45:89:22:88:97
		inet addr:172.19.3.148 Bcast:172.19.3.255 Mask:255.255.252.0 UP BROADCAST
RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

		RX bytes:107897957583 (100.4 GiB) TX bytes:107897957583 (100.4 GiB)

If none of the interface names have an internet address that is part of the protocol address family that covers the assigned SmartLynq+ Module address, use ifconfig to configure a new interface.

In the preceding example, the Linux system has two interfaces defined: eth0 and lo. Neither interface has an internet address format of 10.0.x.x that includes the address 10.0.0.2 assigned to SmartLynq+ Module. Set up the interface by running ifconfig with the following arguments:
sudo ifconfig eth1 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.0.0
Running ifconfig again shows the new interface:
eth0	 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr D7:45:89:22:88:97
		inet addr:172.19.3.148 Bcast:172.19.3.255 Mask:255.255.252.0 UP BROADCAST
