<para>This section only applies if a network card is to be

<para>If a network card will not be used, there is likely no need to create

any configuration files relating to network cards. If that is the case, you

will need to remove the <filename class="symlink">network</filename> symlinks
|
|
from all run-level directories (<filename

<title>Creating Network Interface Configuration Files</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Which interfaces are brought up and down by the network script
|
|
usually depends on the files in <filename
|
|
class="directory">/etc/sysconfig/</filename>. This directory should
|
|
contain a file for each interface to be configured, such as
|
|
<filename>ifconfig.xyz</filename>, where <quote>xyz</quote> is required to
|
|
be a Network Card Interface name (e.g. eth0). Inside this file are
|
|
attributes to this interface, such as its IP address(es), subnet masks, and
|
|
so forth. It is necessary that the stem of the filename be
|
|
<emphasis>ifconfig</emphasis>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<note><para>If the procedure in the previous section was not used, Udev
|
|
will assign network card interface names based on system physical
|
|
characteristics such as enp2s1. If you are not sure what your interface
|
|
name is, you can always run <command>ip link</command> after you have
|
|
booted your system. Again, it is important that ifconfig.xyz is named
|
|
after correct network card interface name (e.g. ifconfig.enp2s1 or
|
|
ifconfig.eth0) or your network interface will not be initialized during
|
|
the boot process.</para></note>
|
|
|
|
<para>The following command creates a sample file for the
|
|
<emphasis>eth0</emphasis> device with a static IP address:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>cd /etc/sysconfig/
|
|
cat > ifconfig.eth0 << "EOF"
|
|
<literal>ONBOOT=yes
|
|
IFACE=eth0

PREFIX=24
|

BROADCAST=192.168.1.255</literal>
|
|
EOF</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>The values of these variables must be changed in every file to match
|
|
the proper setup.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If the <envar>ONBOOT</envar> variable is set to <quote>yes</quote> the
|
|
System V network script will bring up the Network Interface Card (NIC) during
|
|
booting of the system. If set to anything but <quote>yes</quote> the NIC
|
|
will be ignored by the network script and not be automatically brought up.
|
|
The interface can be manually started or stopped with the
|
|
<command>ifup</command> and <command>ifdown</command> commands.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <envar>IFACE</envar> variable defines the interface name,
|
|
for example, eth0. It is required for all network device configuration
|
|
files. </para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <envar>SERVICE</envar> variable defines the method used for
|
|
obtaining the IP address. The LFS-Bootscripts package has a modular IP
|
|
assignment format, and creating additional files in the <filename
|
|
class="directory">/lib/services/</filename> directory allows other IP
|
|
assignment methods. This is commonly used for Dynamic Host Configuration
|
|
Protocol (DHCP), which is addressed in the BLFS book.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <envar>GATEWAY</envar> variable should contain the default
|
|
gateway IP address, if one is present. If not, then comment out the
|
|
variable entirely.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <envar>PREFIX</envar> variable contains the number of
|
|
bits used in the subnet. Each octet in an IP address is 8 bits. If the
|
|
subnet's netmask is 255.255.255.0, then it is using the first three octets
|
|
(24 bits) to specify the network number. If the netmask is 255.255.255.240,
|
|
it would be using the first 28 bits. Prefixes longer than 24 bits are
|
|
commonly used by DSL and cable-based Internet Service Providers (ISPs).
|
|
In this example (PREFIX=24), the netmask is 255.255.255.0. Adjust the
|
|
<envar>PREFIX</envar> variable according to your specific subnet.
|
|
If omitted, the PREFIX defaults to 24.</para>
