Multiple Interfaces

[tobyheywood]

Hi all,

I am running RH7.3 and have two NICs one is configured and I have added the second. I can configure the second by using ifconfig eth1 x.x.x.x and the ifconfig eth1 up.

But as soon as a reboot occurs the interface is not brought up automatically, could some one either tell me what I need to do or point me towards some documentation which covers this!

I have found references to /etc/network/interfaces but this does not exisit on this distro, further investigation I found files in /etc/sysconfig/networking butI'm not sure if and what would really need to be altered in here!

All suggestions, pointers, and links to documentation would be greatly appreciated!

Regards

Toby Heywood

cp /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1

don't forget to add 'ONBOOT=yes'

One more thing. in the ifcfg-eth1, make sure you edit the DEVICE=eth0 to be DEVICE=eth1.
