 Posted: Thu Oct 14, 2004 11:17 am Post subject: problems with multiple /24 networks on eth0 |
 |
|
For some reason I cannot hang multiple ip assignments in multiple networks on eth0 using the net config file. I have had to resort to ifconfig statements in local.start.
How is this accomplished? I tried the alias array but it gives no place for additional gateways and using the gateway statement at the bottom for other than the primary machine ip doesnt seem to work.
Any ideas here? I can't believe there is no way to do this using the existing scripts. I even tried creating iface_eth0:x statements for the various ip addys along with appropriate gateway statements and created new startup scripts for each as net.eth0:x but runscript complained about it. |

RioFL,
Its just like it says in /etc/conf.d/net.
The multiple routes is not obvious, its
| Code: | routes_eth0=(
"default gw 192.168.100.1"
"-net 192.168.0.0/24 gw 192.168.100.6" |
you must have an old install if you still have a gatway statement at the bottom of your confg file. Do an update and get the newer networking scripts and setup.

hmm yeah never got any new networking code or config files since my original install.. never saw that syntax before... will search the networking locations to see whats available. im surprised i didnt get it either since i always use emerge -UDv world.. that should have gotten everything. |

RioFL,
You shouldn't use -U its broken.
Have you been doing etc-update ?
Beware, when you get the new network /etc/conf.d/net it will overwrite your current settings, so you may want to make a note of them.

hmm didnt know that. it appears to be working for me but maybe i just dont know what it is not doing properly. will search the forums about the broken -U... yes i do a find for the files and then after reviewing them and changing as needed an etc-update after every emerge i do. |

ok im totally baffled. i even looked on a newly installed gentoo box that was installed just a few days ago and it also has the old net config file. |

RioFL,
I'm running a 32 bit ~x86 system here. The file dates I have in the headers are
| Code: | /etc/init.d/net.eth0 2004/08/01 20:20:03
/etc/conf.d/net 2004/08/01 22:28:18 |
Does that shed any light on the subject?
I can put the files on teh web if you like.

my file dates are july 11th, and the header date for the init script is 2004/05/10. the net config file is back in 2002.
if there isnt any way to get this through portage, then yes please. so you dont post the web addy publicly you can send a pvt msg with the info.

The latest (testing) version of the net config script (available from viewcvs) is a lot more flexible.
Although the current stable version of the init script doesn't support the iproute2 configuration yet. However the first section (the new style ifconfig examples) should work fine. |

Thank you again! I put it on a test server to be sure before using the production one and it worked perfectly first time out on 3 unique networks! |
