2. Basic configuration - Ethernet adaptors/networks |
Number of ethernet network adaptors or Token-Ring network adaptors which shall be bound to the IP protocol. That´s usually: '1'.
Optional: interface name of ethernet adaptor.
Under normal circumstances the interface name (== device name) will be set automatically by FLI4L. Names are given in the following order: 'eth0', 'eth1' etc. Only in special cases - ex.: IP aliasing (more than one IP address on one network adaptor is used) shall be used - manual setting of interface names makes any sense. Otherwise leave this variable empty.
ATTENTION: IF YOU ENTER ANYTHING INTO THIS VARIABLE ERRORS MAY OCCUR.
IF IN DOUBT - LEAVE VARIABLE EMPTY !
Examples:
IP_ETH_1_NAME='eth0' IP_ETH_2_NAME='eth0:0'
Default setting: IP_ETH_1_NAME=' '
IP address of network adaptor number ´x´. In the example it is: '192.168.6.1'.
Network address. This is - in Class-C networks identical with the IP address of the adaptor, except the last octet== 0. When you use other than Class-C networks change it to your needs.
Rule:
ip-adress BITWISE-AND netmask = network
Example:
192.168.6.55 BITWISE-AND 255.255.255.0 = 192.168.6.0
This configures the network mask for your network. Value in sample file is meant for a Class-C network and is not to be changed for networks of form: 192.168.X.0.
