Hello Is there a way for the dhcp client to send the current host name of the machine when requesting a lease ? Currently I have to include a line like DHCP_HOSTNAME=appserver2 in my /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0, but I would like to tell the dhcp client to just 'also send the hostname' and then the client to get the current hostname itself, instead of having the name

Hello, I created a CentOS 5.0 x86_64 guest under Debian Etch with Xen 3.0.3 and it boots fine except for one re-occuring problem - whenever it boots the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 script gets renamed to .bak and doesn''t configure the ethernet device. Here is the content of this file: TYPE=Ethernet DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=static ONBOOT=yes IPADDR=192.168.0.247

I need to add eth0:1 with a new IP address to my C5-based router. Does a design document exist for the ifcfg family of scripts that explains how they're to be used? Before I go digging through the script hierarchy I'm hoping someone can point me to documentation to make the process easier. One confusing issue is that the ifcfg-eth* files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts are

Hello. This question is asked again and again on forums all over the net, so I decided to provide a How-To page on this. http://wiki.centos.org/VladislavRastrusny/OneNICManyIPs All comments are welcome. Best regards, Vladislav "FractalizeR" Rastrusny

Hi, # uname -a Linux obfuscated.example.com 2.6.18-128.4.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue Aug 4 20:23:34 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux I noticed a few days ago that I'm not getting my logwatch emails to the root account any longer, and while I've definitely been applying updates from base, no other changes have happened on this box. I ran logwatch at the command line: logwatch --detail medium

I am new to CentOS (coming from Fedora) and I really like it! I am having difficulty getting one of my machines to boot and assign the same designation of eth0 and eth1 to the same nics consistantly. I have an MSI motherboard with 2 nics on the board. Strangely enough both nics report the same MAC address. This is not an issue since I use the computer to route between two different subnets so

This is happening with the Centos7-armv7 image 1804, but I was wondering if it is a broader C7 issue. My image has only 2 ifcfg files:? ifcfg-l0 and -link.? 'ip a' is listing the ethernet as eth0.? ifcfg-link has contains: DEVICE=link BOOTPROTO=dhcp ONBOOT=on I then used nmcli to create my ifcfg-eth0 nmcli con delete eth0 nmcli con add type ethernet con-name eth0 ifname eth0 ip4

I installed 7.1 with the command line values biosdevname=0 net.ifnames=0 thinking this would result in ifcfg-eth0 being the file to use... The system still created an ifcfg-eno1 file and that was what is being used for network config information. I remove the ifcfg-eno1 and rebooted - got no network. I then copied back the ifcfg-eth0 to ifcfg-en01 and changed the device name in the file and

I have a machine with 2 network cards. Installing centos 5 on it. I set up both cards with static IP addresses. activate on boot etc... One is e1000 Intel the other is onboard forcedeth (nvidia). After I reboot the forcedeth ifcfg-eth1 file is changed to DHCP. I use netconfig -d eth1 to set it back up and reboot again and the changes back to DHCP. Only thing to add here is the network card

Sometime in the past two weeks, Some kind person pointed me to a GREAT document file that explained all those commands you find in the ifcfg-* files and the network file (and others, I believe). It was a great help to me, and now I need it again, and I did not write down the file location, nor can I find that original note. My bad, I am busy documenting everything I can now. But I really

Hi Everyone: I installed CentOS 4.4 on a new Dell 2950 using the server cd. No errors during the installation and no errors on bootup when loading the Eth0 or Eth1 interfaces. I currently have iptables stopped and selinux disabled. The interfaces have been given a static ip (192.168.1.x). the subnet is 255.255.255.0 and the gateway is 192.168.1.1. I can not ping any device on my network

HI folks, Apologies if this is OT. If it is, please msg me offllist and I'll carry on my searching elsewhere. Where does mysql actually store databases and tables in the filesystem? Thanks in advance -Ray

I''ve been using Puppet now for a month or so and I''ve come to a problem that may warrant an additional Puppet metaparameter. I''m advocating the addition of a metaparameter called "preaction" (or something like that), which will perform some arbitrary action before the resource is modified. There may be a way to do this within Puppet already (with some

Hi, I'm trying to configure a network bridge over a bonding without any success. Here is my configuration: ifcfg-eth0: DEVICE=eth0 HWADDR=00:1E:C9:E8:3F:E5 ONBOOT=yes USERCTL=no MASTER=bond0 SLAVE=yes ifcfg-eth1: DEVICE=eth1 HWADDR=00:1E:C9:E8:3F:E7 ONBOOT=yes USERCTL=no MASTER=bond0 SLAVE=yes ifcfg-bond0: DEVICE=bond0 ONBOOT=yes BRIDGE=br0 USERCTL=no ifcfg-bridge0: DEVICE=br0

CentOS 4.1, Xen 2.0.7. My dom0 is booting up but can''t get to the outside network because eth0 won''t start due to, apparently, Xen providing a different mac address than expected. How do I tell Xen to start eth0 at the bootup with a specific mac address that lines up with the HWADDR= line in my ifcfg-eth0? Note that a normal bootup into CentOS 4.1 outside of the Grub Xen bootup

Hi all, With SELinux in permissive mode and iptables running, I'm unable to retrieve directory listings with ftp. stop iptables, and all appears again. This seems to be unrelated to passive/port modes for ftp client. If this is off topic, please let me know offlist and I'll take my question elsewhere. Otherwise I'll repost with output of # iptables status TIA, ~Ray

Hi all, I need to (quickly!grrr) update IP addresses for which a given machine will answer. I did this: /sbin/ifconfig eth0:0 xx.xx.xx.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 /sbin/ifconfig eth0:1 xx.xx.xx.11 netmask 255.255.255.0 /sbin/ifconfig eth0:2 xx.xx.xx.30 netmask 255.255.255.0 /sbin/ifconfig eth0:3 xx.xx.xx.31 netmask 255.255.255.0 /sbin/ifconfig eth0:4 xx.xx.xx.13 netmask 255.255.255.0
