Hi,
SuSE 9.0 accepted files /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0:0 to setup a virtual device eth0:0 with a private IP, while eth0 was the public one.
I haven't found a way to do that on SuSE 10.1? If I use the ifcfg-eth0:0 file, eth0:0 is tried to setup during boot, but fails. I tried to configure it with yast, but yast proposes a device "eth-0:0", and when I set this up and call "ifup eth-0:0" afterwards, it says "Interface eth-0:0 is not available".
Calling "ifconfig eth0:0 ..." manually works, but I want a config file in /etc/sysconfig/network so that the device is handled automatically.
Is this possible?
cu, Frank
In opensuse 10.0 it's diferent. The easyest way to do that is within yast. Look at /etc/sysconfig/network. You can find a file called like this (can differ in the last numbers, the MAC address of your NIC): ifcfg-eth-id-00:0c:xx:xx:xx:xx I have a virtual interface. If you check the content of my ifcfg-eth-id-00:0c:xx:xx:xx:xx file you will see something like this: BOOTPROTO='static' BROADCAST='' IPADDR='192.168.0.32' MTU='' NAME='Dell 82562EZ 10/100 Ethernet Controller' NETMASK='255.255.255.0' NETWORK='' REMOTE_IPADDR='' STARTMODE='auto' UNIQUE='rAUF.4JaxctxhRiB' USERCONTROL='no' IPADDR_luna='192.168.0.31' NETMASK_luna='255.255.255.0' LABEL_luna='luna' _nm_name='bus-pci-0000:02:08.0' In yast, choose Additional Address (or something like that, i have suse in spanish) to define additional addresses over the same fisical network interface --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
