How To Change IPAddress of Linux/Ubuntu ?


Recently I needed to change the existing ipaddress of a linux machine. Since we migrated to our machines in to new cloud servers.

Just follow the steps defined below:

  • On terminal window type the following command.
           sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces
                or 
           sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces

  • Then find the eth0 section and set the ipaddress as below
                 auto eth0 
                 iface eth0 inet static
                 address 192.168.10.43
                 netmask 255.255.255.0
                 network 192.168.10.46
                 broadcast 255.255.255.0

             Note: Its my own ipaddresses, you have to define your own addresses.
  • In above file may have " iface eth0 inet dhcp". when you want to define static ip you have to change it to "static". "dhcp" is for dynamic ipaddress.
  • Then save and close the file, then run the restart the network with this command.
                     sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
  • To ensure ipaddress has been changed just run the command.
                      ifconfig eth0

Asynchronous Vs. Synchronous Communications

Synchronous (One thread):   1 thread -> |<---A---->||<----B---------->||<------C----->| Synchronous (multi-threaded):   thread A -> |<---A---->| \ thread B ------------> ->|<----B---------->| \ thread C ----------------------------------> ->|<------C----->|

WebSphere MQ Interview Questions

What is MQ and what does it do? Ans. MQ stands for MESSAGE QUEUEING. WebSphere MQ allows application programs to use message queuing to participate in message-driven processing. Application programs can communicate across different platforms by using the appropriate message queuing software products. What is Message driven process? Ans . When messages arrive on a queue, they can automatically start an application using triggering. If necessary, the applications can be stopped when the message (or messages) have been processed. What are advantages of the MQ? Ans. 1. Integration. 2. Asynchrony 3. Assured Delivery 4. Scalability. How does it support the Integration? Ans. Because the MQ is independent of the Operating System you use i.e. it may be Windows, Solaris,AIX.It is independent of the protocol (i.e. TCP/IP, LU6.2, SNA, NetBIOS, UDP).It is not required that both the sender and receiver should be running on the same platform What is Asynchrony? Ans. With messag...

Advantages & Disadvantages of Synchronous / Asynchronous Communications?

  Asynchronous Communication Advantages: Requests need not be targeted to specific server. Service need not be available when request is made. No blocking, so resources could be freed.  Could use connectionless protocol Disadvantages: Response times are unpredictable. Error handling usually more complex.  Usually requires connection-oriented protocol.  Harder to design apps Synchronous Communication Advantages: Easy to program Outcome is known immediately  Error recovery easier (usually)  Better real-time response (usually) Disadvantages: Service must be up and ready. Requestor blocks, held resources are “tied up”.  Usually requires connection-oriented protocol
