/etc/net (etcnet) is a modern network configuration system for Linux. |
|---|
| 7 |
The project's goal is to make network management in Linux more |
|---|
| 8 |
convenient; to make modern networking technologies available. |
|---|
| 9 |
/etc/net helps configuring the following network interfaces: wired and |
|---|
| 10 |
wireless Ethernet, IP tunnels, IPSec static tunnels, VLANs, PLIP, Ethernet |
|---|
| 11 |
bonding and bridges, traffic equalizers, dummy, DVB and usbnet interfaces, |
|---|
| 12 |
TUN/TAP, OpenVPN TUN/TAP, OpenSSH TUN/TAP, PPP, PPTP and PPPoE. |
|---|
| 13 |
/etc/net supports IPv4, IPv6 and IPX. |

=== INSTALLATION |
|---|
| 17 |
=== |
|---|
| 18 |
Please refer to distribution-specific INSTALL file. |
|---|
| 19 |
Right after the installation you usually have a running system and the |
|---|
| 20 |
default /etc/net configuration, which only brings up loopback interface. |
|---|
| 21 |
If you reboot, you will end up with a networkless Linux host. |
|---|
| 22 |
|
|---|
| 23 |
=== |
|---|
| 24 |
=== CONFIGURATION |
|---|
| 25 |
=== |
|---|
| 26 |
You can start building the configuration for your next reboot from scratch |
|---|
| 27 |
or you can run /etc/net/scripts/contrib/initconf and examine its output. |
|---|
| 28 |
The script usually generates adequate configurations for simple setups. |
|---|
| 29 |
If you are happy with its suggestions, run the scripts once more with |
|---|
| 30 |
"write" parameter and you will have something to continue with. |
|---|
| 31 |
|
|---|
| 32 |
After you are done with /etc/net configuration, you probaly have to fix |
|---|
| 33 |
some things in the rest of the system: |
|---|
| 34 |
|
|---|
| 35 |
You must review your /etc/sysconfig/network file and check NETWORKING |
|---|
| 36 |
and CONFMETHOD variables: |
|---|
| 37 |
|
|---|
| 38 |
NETWORKING=yes |
|---|
| 39 |
CONFMETHOD=etcnet |
|---|
| 40 |
|
|---|
| 41 |
Please note that FORWARD_IPV4, GATEWAY and GATEWAYDEV variables are |
|---|
| 42 |
net-scripts specific and are ignored by /etc/net. |
|---|
| 43 |
|
|---|
| 44 |
Edit /etc/sysctl.conf and remove the lines that are present |
|---|
| 45 |
in /etc/net/sysctl.conf. |
|---|
| 46 |
|
|---|
| 47 |
# chkconfig --list network |
|---|
| 48 |
You may need to run 'chkconfig network reset' (this is a known bug). |
