1 Hello,
2
3 I've set up multiple ethernet cards before, where I use the cards
4 MAC address to ensure that the correct ethernet card is assigned
5 which ip address in a mulit nic environment server.
6
7 I symlinked net.lo as usual to all of the cards and the conf.d/net
8 file looks like this:
9
10 mac_eth0="00:4F:49:01:6F:7A"
11 mac_eth1="00:4F:49:01:8A:BF"
12 mac_eth2="00:40:05:63:3D:3E"
13 mac_eth3="52:54:00:DC:C8:E7"
14 config_eth0=( "192.168.2.33/24" )
15 config_eth1=( "192.168.3.33/24" )
16 config_eth2=( "192.168.4.33/24" )
17 config_eth3=( "192.168.5.33/24" )
18
19
20 The problem is another card was removed and now
21 eth1 is skipped over and get after reboot:
22 <heavily snipped>
23 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:4F:49:01:6F:7A
24 inet addr:192.168.2.33 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
25 eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:40:05:63:3D:3E
26 inet addr:192.168.4.33 Bcast:192.168.4.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
27
28 eth3 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 52:54:00:DC:C8:E7
29 inet addr:192.168.5.33 Bcast:192.168.5.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
30 eth4 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 52:54:00:DC:C8:E7
31 BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
32
33 I assume that the eth1 problem is a vestige of removing an old card
34 and replacing it with a newer one. I just cannot find what to remove
35 or re-initiate to get the sequence of nic assignments to be
36 eth0, eth1, eth2, eth3.
37
38 I looked at net.examples but somehow I've missed something else.
39
40 any ideas are most welcome.
