Dear sirs!
My Internet Service Provider has DHCP server. But it often fails. In this case the only way to make Internet working is to configure network manually. Following script does it successfully:
| Code: | $ cat ~/isp
#!/bin/sh
ifconfig eth0 1.2.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default gw 1.2.3.254
|
This is a bit inconvenient, so I decided to make corresponding configuration in the system. Here it is:
| Code: | $ cat /etc/conf.d/net
modules=( "ifconfig" )
mac_eth0="00:01:41:81:B1:91"
dhcpcd_eth0="-t 30"
config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
fallback_eth0=( "eth0 1.2.3.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" )
fallback_route_eth0=( "default via 1.2.3.254" )
|
Please, note, that before that this file was exactly the same except last two lines (fallback_*)
But /etc/init.d/net.eth0 seem to ignore this configuration!

So, as you can see, my fallback configuration ignored and eth0 received address 169.254.26.111. Thus I have two questions: 1) Why? 2) How to make proper fallback configuration?
Thank you in advance. |
