Hello Timothy, |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I had a similar need. In fact which nic(of the 4 nics) was labled with |
| 16 |
eth0-eth3 was inconsistent upon reboot. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
So I used the mac_eth statements like so: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
mac_eth0="00:50:DA:31:31:AB" |
| 21 |
iface_eth0="192.168.14.220 broadcast 192.168.14.255 netmask 255.255.255.0" |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
and so on for each nic. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
This syntax has not been updated with the recent changes, but it |
| 26 |
works splendidly for nailing down a given ip to a give ethernet mac |
| 27 |
the /etc/conf.d/net.example file should contain the latest |
| 28 |
syntax on how to nail down a desired IP with the mac address. |
