rc.conf for suse ?

[Jaytron]

To Make a long story short. I'm working on an enterprise routing lab. I currently use openSuse11.3 for my FTP, NTP, Radius, SNMP, Syslog server. I got instructions from my training partner(they use FreeBSD) to add the following lines to /etc/rc.config ( Look below for config I shortened the amount of info they added)

So I open my suse server and could not find /etc/rc.conf

1. Is there daemon I can install to to get rc.conf that would take over the routing functions from Ifroute-* ?
2. Could these lines be used in the /etc/sysconfig/network/ifroute-* If not how can I change the syntac to work in suse.
3. I really don't want to rebuild my boxes to freebsd at the moment.



"ifconfig_em1="inet 1.2.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.0"
cloned_interfaces="vlan121 vlan123 vlan125 vlan127"
ifconfig_vlan121="inet 172.18.120.2 netmask 255.255.255.252 vlan 121 vlandev
em1"


static_routes="mcast1 mcast2 mcast3 mcast4 mcast5 mcast6 mcast7 mcast8 ssmA1
ssmA2 ssmA3 ssmB1 ssmB2 ssmB3 ssmC1 ssmC2 ssmC3 ssmD1 ssmD2 ssmD3"
route_mcast1="-host 224.7.7.121 172.18.120.2"
route_mcast2="-host 224.7.7.122 172.18.120.2"

Thanks for any or all help on this one.

/etc/rc.config is the bsd way of doing things.

So -as you guessed- you need to translate.
- ifconfig_em1 should be fairly obvious
- cloned_interfaces is bsd speak for bonded interfaces
- then a bunch of static routes (definitions are on the bsd side, look for: route_mcast1, route_mcast2, etc)

Thank you Irithori,

I'm not familiar with rc.conf or the suse routing file. If you could give me an example of BSD to Suse commands would be great. I just do not know the syntac of the Suse ifroute-* file. If that is the correct file i should be placing the routes in.
