Hello,
I've set up multiple ethernet cards before, where I use the cards
MAC address to ensure that the correct ethernet card is assigned
which ip address in a mulit nic environment server.
I symlinked net.lo as usual to all of the cards and the conf.d/net
file looks like this:
mac_eth0="00:4F:49:01:6F:7A"
mac_eth1="00:4F:49:01:8A:BF"
mac_eth2="00:40:05:63:3D:3E"
mac_eth3="52:54:00:DC:C8:E7"
config_eth0=( "192.168.2.33/24" )
config_eth1=( "192.168.3.33/24" )
config_eth2=( "192.168.4.33/24" )
config_eth3=( "192.168.5.33/24" )
The problem is another card was removed and now
eth1 is skipped over and get after reboot:
<heavily snipped>
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:4F:49:01:6F:7A
inet addr:192.168.2.33 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:40:05:63:3D:3E
inet addr:192.168.4.33 Bcast:192.168.4.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
eth3 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 52:54:00:DC:C8:E7
inet addr:192.168.5.33 Bcast:192.168.5.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
eth4 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 52:54:00:DC:C8:E7
BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
I assume that the eth1 problem is a vestige of removing an old card
and replacing it with a newer one. I just cannot find what to remove
or re-initiate to get the sequence of nic assignments to be
eth0, eth1, eth2, eth3.
I looked at net.examples but somehow I've missed something else.
any ideas are most welcome.
James
