I'm using a CentOS virtual machine, i have already assigned two network adapters using the VMware Workstation but the Virtual Network Editor lets you change only the Subnet IP, the Subnet Mask and the MAC.
However, i also need to change the IPADDR, the BROADCAST, the DHCP_HOSTNAME, the ON_BOOT and the DEVICE variables on each network adapter.
I don't see any ifcfg file relevant to those two network adapters inside /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts. And i don't see those network adapters using the Network Administration Tool (system-config-network).
What is the most appropriate way to change those variables?

The interface configuration file under CentOS are named
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<ifname>where<ifname>is the interface name. For interfaceeth0, the file will be namedifcfg-eth0.In case someone assign an extra network card or change the configuration of an already existing then make sure to restart the network with
service network restartin terminal.
