I use the following unit in one of my servers: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 20 |
[Unit] |
| 21 |
Description=Static network service |
| 22 |
After=local-fs.target |
| 23 |
Documentation=man:ifconfig(8) |
| 24 |
Documentation=man:route(8) |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
[Service] |
| 27 |
Type=oneshot |
| 28 |
RemainAfterExit=yes |
| 29 |
ExecStart=/bin/ifconfig <DEVICE> <IP> broadcast <BCAST> netmask <NETMASK> up |
| 30 |
ExecStart=/bin/route add default gw <GW> <DEVICE> |
| 31 |
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Obviously, change the necessary parameters. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
The benefit is that it doesn't get any more simple, I believe. If DHCP |
| 36 |
is available and I don't want to use NetworkManager, I use the |
| 37 |
following unit: |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 40 |
[Unit] |
| 41 |
Description=DHCP on %I |
| 42 |
After=basic.target |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
[Service] |
| 45 |
ExecStartPre=/bin/ifconfig %I up |
| 46 |
ExecStart=/sbin/dhcpcd -B %I |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
[Install] |
| 49 |
WantedBy=multi-user.target |
| 50 |
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
You can then enable the unit with: |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
systemctl enable dhcpcd@×××.service |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
where DEV is enp0s0, or whatever funny name udev gives to your network |
| 57 |
card. I think I got the unit from Arch, or maybe I wrote; I honestly |
| 58 |
don't remember. |
| 59 |
