interfaces for individual network devices. As the system boots, it uses these files to determine
what interfaces to bring up and how to configure them. These files are usually named ifcfg-name,

convention, the ifcfg file's suffix is the same as the string given by the DEVICE directive in the
configuration file itself.

The BOOTPROTO setting is used to determine which protocol to use at boot time:

  - none: No boot-time protocol should be used

  - bootp: The bootp now pump protocol should be used

  - dhcp: The dhcp protocol should be used

  - static: Use static IP address");
