Macintosh: Output of Ifconfig
Hi,
1) I am used to with the Microsoft Window and (a little bit of) Linux Operating system
2) I am not familiar with the Macintosh OS
3) I saw some MacBook (The OS is Mac OS X 10.6.8) at a company (production environment)
4) I take one of the MacBook, and do the followings:
-Go to Utilities, and open the "terminal"
- I type in: ifconfig
- There 7 items appeared (I do not understand "these terms"; i just understand a little bit of it)
5) The 7 items are as the followings:
i) lo0
ii) gif0
iii) en0
iv) en1
v) vnic0
vi) vnic1
vii) csctun0
6) Would you somebody explain "the above terms": what is it and its function
7) Thank you
