I tried renaming the file, and that wasn't enough for things to work
correctly. On reboot MTU is 32767 and netmask 255.255.255.255 for ctc0
ifup-ctc is executing to the end (route add default gw ${GATEWAY} is
being performed), so that seems okay.
Two noteworthies:
earlier in the script, the ifconfig line is called with ${opts} being
empty, instead of "mtu 1500" or something.
$NETWORK also seems to be empty during execution
here's some informational stuff
# cat /etc/modules.conf
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
alias ctc0 ctc
(parport was there from the beginning, just added the alias ctc0)
#cat /etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=tcsl.tcs.timeinc.com
GATEWAY=172.16.18.129
NETMASK=255.255.255.128
MTU=1500
NETWORK=172.16.18.129
(this used to be just the top three, but I keep on throwing more stuff
in here in hopes that something'll catch)
# cat /etc/sysconfig/networking/ifcfg-ctc0
DEVICE=ctc0
IPADDR=172.16.18.130
NETMASK=255.255.255.128
ONBOOT=yes
GATEWAY=172.16.18.129
USERCTL=no
MTU=1500
BOOTPROTO=none
NETWORK=172.16.18.129
(in the beginning the file didn't exist, i keep throwing in stuff hoping
something'll catch)
RH 7.2, LPAR installation.
I used to have at least the netmask part correct on reboot, but haven't
ever had the mtu to work correctly.
But now neither of them are working.
See anything glaring?
Thanks,
Daniel
