Suse 8.2 eth1 config issue

**flw** · 09-17-2003

Anyone know where SuSE 8.2 keeps the settings for the nic cards like the gateway setting etc.... Its not in the typical linux file locations. i.e. etc/sysconfig/network

Suse site is of no help, and they are consistanly not using the typical linux file names and locations for conf's. Any url's on Suse disto's info.

Help

maybe in /etc they are in Debian

Normally they would be in /etc or a sub of it, but what I need what is the file called in SuSE that contains the gateway setting etc... SuSE is not using the typical file names or locations for some configurations like the network.

Try editing your /etc/route.conf file.

No such file in /etc, I even ran from / "find -name route.conf" and came up with no matches.

Other ideas?

if you know the commands you want to be executed to set the networking up, then try adding them to /etc/rc.d/rc.local or a script in /etc/rc.d/rc* for your startup runlevel

/etc/route.conf -> /etc/sysconfig/network/routes

/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0
/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-lo

these look to be the config files to me. and i found these on my work servers and it is running suse 8.2 so let me know if this is right.

hope this helps some.

The following are my local loopback, wireless NIC and the NIC. Its the last that needs a gateway set that sticks.

ifcfg-lo:
# Loopback (lo) configuration
IPADDR=127.0.0.1
NETMASK=255.0.0.0
NETWORK=127.0.0.0
BROADCAST=127.255.255.255
STARTMODE=onboot

ifcfg-eth0
#Wireless NIC- a issue for another day

BOOTPROTO='dhcp'
MTU=''
REMOTE_IPADDR=''
STARTMODE='onboot'
UNIQUE='UVH2.FYUa2xiK1J3'
WIRELESS='no'

ifcfg-eth1
# acutal NIC with no gateway set
BOOTPROTO='dhcp'
MTU=''
REMOTE_IPADDR=''
STARTMODE='onboot'
UNIQUE='oxTw.DrwbSrSW+pF'
WIRELESS='no'

When you look at your ifcfg-eth0 does it have its gateway listed in it? If so where in the file?

Obviously mine don't mention a gateway anywhere in these conf files and I have no route.conf file in etc or subs of etc.

idea's?

It maybe very time consuming but what is the cmd line to open every file and look for a text string match? i.e. files that contain the word "gatway" ?

Code:

kkjorsvik@dc&#58;/etc/sysconfig/network> cat ifcfg-lo

IPADDR=127.0.0.1
NETMASK=255.0.0.0
NETWORK=127.0.0.0
BROADCAST=127.255.255.255
STARTMODE=onboot

kkjorsvik@dc&#58;/etc/sysconfig/network> cat ifcfg-eth0

BOOTPROTO='static'
BROADCAST='192.1.1.255'
IPADDR='192.1.1.61'
NETMASK='255.255.255.0'
NETWORK='192.1.1.0'
REMOTE_IPADDR=''
STARTMODE='onboot'
UNIQUE='_Znp.Y3FLaENdpw9'
WIRELESS='no'

this is they way it is configured at work when i get home tonite i will check out my laptop is set up for you and post that info in here.

Why not just run yast2
:>yast2
from the command line and configure the network from there?[/i]
