If you are using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), add these
lines to the file:
STARTMODE=onboot
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
NAME=’InfiniPath Network Card’
_nm_name=eth-id-$MAC
Proceed to Step 6.
If you are you are using static IP addresses (not DHCP), add these lines to
the file:
STARTMODE=onboot
BOOTPROTO=static
NAME=’InfiniPath Network Card’
NETWORK=192.168.5.0
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
BROADCAST=192.168.5.255
IPADDR=192.168.5.211
_nm_name=eth-id-$MAC
Make sure that you substitute your own IP address for the IPADDR in the
example. The
BROADCAST, NETMASK, and NETWORK lines need to match for
your network.
6. To verify that the configuration files are correct, run the commands:
# ifup eth2
# ifconfig eth2
You may have to reboot the system for the configuration changes to take
effect.
