Solved-How do I add eth1 ?

by **jeajea** » Tue Mar 05, 2013 11:01 pm

I currently have two subnets. One is all wired and the second has both wired and wirelessly connected devices. I want to connect a Dockstar to both subnets using a USB wired Ethernet adapter for the second connection. I need to add eth1 so that netcfg will start both eth0 and eth1 automatically. I have created a profile for eth1. What else do I need to add/change?

Edit /etc/conf.d/netcfg

What is the syntax?
WIRED_INTERFACE="eth0",”eth1”
WIRED_INTERFACE="eth0" ”eth1”
WIRED_INTERFACE=("eth0" ”eth1”)
Or ?
I don’t want to accidentally kill eth0.

It's the network= line
The filenames in /etc/network.d/ that describe the 2 interfaces (use example folder for templates) go there.
I'm not online but it's something like
Network="filename1 filename2"

Thanks
It works

Here is my new networks line in /etc/conf.d/netcfg

NETWORKS=(wired-eth0 wired-eth1 air3)

I also discovered (or maybe rediscovered) that you can’t specify a gateway for the second interface. The third profile “air3” is for wlan0.

You could have POST_UP line on second interface to mess with routes
eg
POST_UP="command1 ; command2"
