I have neither of those although I think Network Device Control
is what I used in the past?
Man ifconfig says: NOTE This program is obsolete! For
replacement check ip addr and ip link. For statistics use ip -s
link.
I did that: ip addr 192.168.2.0/24 dev em1
I also tried:
route add -net 192.168.2.0/24 em1
Which leaves me wondering how to verify the change has been added and then how do
I access the unknown device. it is supposed to default to an address in the 192.168.2
subnet which I can access from Firefox however I haven't been able to find it with a
few trial and error attempts. There must be a logical approach to this?
This is a minimum quality IP Camera [Zonet zvc7611w] that I use to watch the
front driveway. I pressed the reset button and then can find the cdrom with the support
information and have found nothing on-line and got no response from Zonet. Not
surprisingly it is a discontinued product. It would overheat and fail until I added vent
holes and a tiny fan to both of them, I have two.

To make ifconfig obsolete is really weird. It sounds to me that
developers of Fedora have to much time on their hands. Next I expect
they will change the name of vi. Oh, I forgot it is now vim. Where is Ed
Joy when we need him? [He was the creator of vi, in the very beginning.]
