When your system is up you can start your eth2 by just one command, --ifconfig eth2 add "ip-address" netmask "netmask" up
or you can make one file (If you are using Redhat) # cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts make here new file called "ifcfg-eth2" and contens should be as below: DEVICE=eth2 BOOTPROTO=static BROADCAST=192.168.0.255 HWADDR=00:0e:56:58:A2:86 IPADDR=192.168.0.1 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=192.168.0.0 ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Ethernet On Tue, Oct 14, 2008 at 8:45 PM, Nikhil Talpallikar < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > how do I add a new network interface or adapter. > I want to add a new interface eth2 and configure it in such a way so that > eth2 is up at boot time but has no ip address so that i can configure its ip > after it boots. > > thanks. > > cheers, > nikhil >
