fli4l documentation - Configuration

2. Basic configuration - Ethernet adaptors/networks

##### :::[ IP_NET_N ][ IP_NET_x_DEV ][ IP_ETH_x_IPADDR ][ IP_ETH_x_NETMASK ]:::

#### IP_NET_N

Number of ethernet network adaptors or Token-Ring network adaptors which shall be bound to the IP protocol. That´s usually: '1'.

##### [ top ]

#### IP_ETH_x_NAME

Optional: interface name of ethernet adaptor.

Under normal circumstances the interface name (== device name) will be set automatically by FLI4L. Names are given in the following order: 'eth0', 'eth1' etc. Only in special cases - ex.: IP aliasing (more than one IP address on one network adaptor is used) shall be used - manual setting of interface names makes any sense. Otherwise leave this variable empty.

ATTENTION: IF YOU ENTER ANYTHING INTO THIS VARIABLE ERRORS MAY OCCUR.
IF IN DOUBT - LEAVE VARIABLE EMPTY !

Examples:

    IP_ETH_1_NAME='eth0'
    IP_ETH_2_NAME='eth0:0'

Default setting: IP_ETH_1_NAME=' '

#### IP_ETH_x_IPADDR

IP address of network adaptor number ´x´. In the example it is: '192.168.6.1'.

##### [ top ]

#### IP_ETH_x_NETMASK

This configures the network mask for your network. Value in sample file is meant for a Class-C network and is not to be changed for networks of form: 192.168.X.0.
