About setup static IP

[satimis]

Hi all,

Fedora 17 desktop 64bit

I have 2 NICs on the PC, a PCIe NIC card and an onboard NIC. The PC is now connecting the router via PCIe card and running dynamic IP.

# ifconfig

I expect to set up static IP, 192.168.0.11, and use the hostname, fedora17, as server name.

# hostname

fedora17

# hostname -f

fedora17

# cat /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1		localhost.localdomain localhost
::1		localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6

Please advise how to set relevant file/files. TIA

Hi,

You didn't mention which interface you want be static IP 192.168.0.11, but let's say you want it to be eth0. Edit this file:

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

and make it look like this:

UUID="c29af442-1fb3-44dc-a15a-0159397bbacd"
NM_CONTROLLED="yes"
HWADDR="90:F6:52:03:57:86"
#BOOTPROTO="dhcp"
BOOTPROTO="static"
IPADDR="192.168.0.11"
NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
DEVICE="eth0"
ONBOOT="yes"

Blue lines are the modified/new ones.

To set your hostname, you'd put it in /etc/sysconfig/network, but you've already done that and it looks corrrect. And the hostname command returns the correct value, so not sure why you're asking about this. If you mean you want your hostname to resolve to the ip address you gave, you could put this in your /etc/hosts file:

192.168.0.11        fedora17

just make sure there are no other "fedora17" entries in /etc/hosts.

Also, if your 2nd NIC is getting ip via DHCP, note that DHCP servers can assign clients the hostname, too, so make sure that is not conflicting you.

And if you want know which device is which (onboard vs PCIe), you can get the driver name, which should lend a clue:

ethtool -i eth0|grep ^driver
