Overview

This document outlines Network Interface issues and tasks.

Prerequisites

Swivel appliance 2.x

CMI

Add a third Network Interface ETH2

VM systems allow the creation of additional interfaces. Make a note of teh VM assigned MAC address to enter in the below file.

From the CMI select the Command line and change directory to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts

 cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts

Ensure ifcfg-eth2 does not exist

 ls -la ifcfg-eth2

Create a ifcfg-eth2 by copying ifcfg-eth1

 cp -pr ifcfg-cfg1 ifcfg-cfg2

Edit the file ifcfg-cfg using vi or WinSCP, see WinSCP How To Guide

Example

 DEVICE=eth2 
 BOOTPROTO=static
 # HWADDR=00:00:00:AA:AA:AA
 IPADDR=10.0.1.27 
 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 
 ONBOOT=yes 
 NETWORK=10.0.1.0 
 TYPE=Ethernet
 NOZEROCONF=YES
 BROADCAST=255.255.255.255
 ETHTOOL_OPTS="autoneg on"

Save the file and restart networking through the command line or CMI

 service network restart

On Swivel appliance builds 2.0.14, the ETH2 interface should be visible and configurable in the CMI networking
