Do you know what's relationship between ethx and physical net cards? such as i have three net cards in the PC, named A, B, C. In which config file i could know that eth0 -> A, eth1 -> B, and eth2 -> C. Would the mapping relationship change after reboot? Is there any method i could change the mapping?

It seems, if more than one cable is connected, a random hardware port is chosen as eth0-eth2. If only one cable is connected the port that is connected is chosen as eth0-eth2. Any idea what's going wrong here?
I'm having an issue with dual networking on RHEL 5. My initial question is can the order the ethx (0,1) devices are brought up be changed at boot time, so I could bring up eth1 before eth0?
Some background: eth0 is DHCP'd and using DNS, basically this is my primary network. eth1 is an isolated subnet, with a manually configured IP which has no connection to eth0 or the outside world. When I bring up networking it first brings up eth0 and then eth1, what happens is eth1 becomes the 'primary' network of the host and I lose my connection to DNS/NFS/NIS and the outside world.
If I login and manually bring up eth1 first, then eth0 everyone is happy and connections work. So, I'm looking for a solution to either bring up eth1 before eth0 or somehow make eth0 my primary IP and not have it be clobbered by eth1.
I have a dns server started with 2 NIC Cards in it. The bios sees both cards but they both dont show in ifconfig. is there a way to activate the second card?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm a relatively inexperienced with Linux, coming from a Windows background, and I struggling to solve a troublesome issue attempting to set a static ip address to a Live Debian USB Key. I know it is possible to utilise the 'ifconfig' function to set a static ip address and use 'route' to set the gateway, e.g.
ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.40 up
route add default gw 10.0.0.130 eth0
..however in both cases I need to explicitly set the 'eth0' to point at the appropriate adapter. However, this is where my problem is...
I'm creating a persistent USB key using the Debian Live CD, I'm going to create an image and then duplicate that image to a load of other USB keys. Again, not a problem as such but there are cases where I need to specify a static IP address and gateway rather than using DCHP.
And here's where problem raises its head.
Because I've created the key on another machine it has allocated 'eth0' to a specific MAC Address (assigned in /etc/udev/70-persistent-net.rules) but when I place it into machine with a different network adapter it is assigning to 'eth1' (and this increments up).
a) call 'ifconfig' and 'route' without having to identify the adapter or
b) change the script that is creating '/etc/udev/70-persistent-net.rules' so it overwrites the 'eth0' entry with the only applicavle network adapter for the current hardware.
I'm trying to write a small script and there's one part of it that makes me sick:
Code:
ifconfig eth$num down
sleep 6
ifconfig eth$num hw ether $mac
ifconfig eth$num up
The problem is that the ethX interface doesn't go down immediately after the first line is executed. So sometimes the change of MAC is called while ethX is up, no matter how big is the sleep time, which results in an error. Is there a way to make this work right?
To get info of all etherhet adapters I am using C as well as info from various files in /sys/class/net/ethx directory.
There is a file name 'type' and has a number in it. Is it physical medium type of ethernet adapter? If yes, then how do I get string representation of that number? If no, then How do I determine physical medium type of ethernet adapter. For example 802.3, 802.5 etc.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've setup an XP VM using Red Hat's KVM. The physical Red Hat box has two NICs, a fiber one in use and active and a CAT-5 one that is disabled and with no wire connected. The physical box has br0 active and bridging on the subnet of 192.168.10.0/24. ip route show also displays for virbr0 192.168.0.0/16 My physical box (192.168.10.228)can ping the virbr0 IP of 192.168.122.1, but not the XP VM of 192.168.122.228
I have played around with Window's route command to try and setup some method for the Windows VM to ping the 192.168.10.0 network, but have not had any luck. I've also messed around with the Red Hat netmask and such to work it from the Linux side. But then, as would be expected, I can't talk to other Linux boxes on the physical network.
Does anyone have any ideas how to get the Windows box to communicate with the Red Hat box and the other Linux systems beyond while keeping the two distinct networks of 192.168.10.0 and 192.168.122.0 leaving them both as Class C (255.255.255.0)? I mentioned the unused CAT-5 NIC thinking perhaps it could operate as an internal router even with no cable attached. That was just a random thought and I have not even explored that.
Could you please explain the relationship between the languages?For one, is C writing assembly when you compile, does every piece of code end up assembly/hex? Is there a way to convert (?port?) between them?I don't understand much at all of them yet, but I've seen examples where it looks like they are interacting, and an understanding of all of them looks to be important?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'd like to access a samba/SSH server which itself is connected to a VPN Server, therefore acting as a VPN Client. As soon as the VPN Connection is established, samba and ssh connections to this VPN Client get a timeout. But not all of them.
To get a better understanding I made an overview. The first one is a general network overview, without any VPN Connection, the second one with the VPN Connection established.
Network Overview without VPN
I can access the server in several ways:
*From the router via ssh (router runs ipcop with busybox)
*From the laptop via ssh (putty via Windows 7)
*From the laptop via samba
*From the internet via ssh (port forwarding to the ssh server)
Everything is working as it should.
Now the server that runs ssh and samba service connects to a VPN Server on the Internet, this is also working fine. Now it gets weird. The only samba/SSH connection that is still working is ssh directly from the router to the server. Everything else gets a timeout:
*From the laptop via ssh (putty via Windows 7)
*From the laptop via samba
*From the internet via ssh (port forwarding to the ssh server)
Network Overview with VPN active
Why is that? It seems from the little understanding I have of vpn and networking, that incoming packages (like samba request from the laptop) don't get send directly back over eth0 but over the vpn connection. This seems somewhat logic, BUT ssh from the router is still working. Why from the router and not from the laptop? I really can't get my head around it.
Configuration Overview
tldr; One Client acts as VPN Client and samba/SSH Server. As soon as the VPN Connection is established samba/SSH stop working, but only partially.
new Install of 11.2 every time i boot i have to config network devices via Yast Control Center. I now have 8 eth configs for my one local net adapter. Why does the MAC address change each time? I cant use my routers built in MAC filter and MAC control functions if this keeps changing. So each time i boot i need to also go into my router and build a new MAC address profile based on the new MAC address before i get Internet access. Security to the point of no access...I hope this is just a bug in the system. I thought MAC addresses were firmware/device specific? What I need is one eth config that works each boot. And I need one MAC address that does not change between boots.

On a Debian system, there are packages called uswsusp and hibernate. The former contains a program named s2disk, the latter contains a program called hibernate. Superficially, these both do the same thing: the suspend the machine to disk. Usually, this works fine, but since I'm often using Debian testing and there are lots of changes in kernel and other packages (I assume), somethings this breaks. But then, when one of these programs doesn't work, sometimes the other works. Often, hibernate works when s2disk doesn't.annoyingly, however, the "Suspend" or "Hibernate" buttons in the graphical user interfaces (e.g., LXDE, KDE) appear to be wired up to the s2disk program, so when that breaks I have to use hibernate manually.
So, what is the difference between these packages? Interestingly, the hibernate package "recommends" uswsusp, but the package description says that it "smartly puts your computer to sleep ... using one of the various methods available in the kernel". So apparently it can fall back to something else when the s2disk method fails? And if hibernate is more powerful, why wouldn't the GUIs use it instead?

I am setting up a class using a vmWare ESX server. Because of security proceedures, the students are not allowed to connect directly to the internet. Because of file space, the are severated on 3 servers. I am trying to set up a server that connects to the internet and all 3 subnets that the students are on.
I have configure 4 virtual NICs 1 with DHCP connected to the internet. The other 3 goes to each student network. I can get 2 working at a time. 1 using the DHCP and 1 of the other networks. It seems to be order dependent. On the main server I can ping the local address. When I ping the students systems, I can reach 1 but not the other 2. I get a host unreachable message.
Is there a limitation to 2 NICS. If not, is there any magic incantation to run the 4 nics?
Some times I boot up, and udev has labelled what is usually eth0 as eth1. Of course, my rc.inet1.conf is configured for seeing internet at eth0, so no connection, quite obviously. Then I reboot and the device label is back to "eth0". Actually I'm still not able to get connected, even at eth0, despite my nameservers being OK, and the default route gateway being all OK. PS. I have a static ip address.

I am building a custom RedHat+<our-software> installer iso for our own appliance. I am using Red Hat 5.4. The appliances has two on-board eth interfaces. On the back panel of the appliance, these ports are marked 1 and 2. When I install RH, I find the device names assigned such as eth0/eth1 are arbitrary. I understand this is to be expected with kernels 2.6+. Most of our customers connect their eth cables to the port marked 1 on the back and assume they should configure eth0 to make the device reachable. However, sometimes port 1 gets assigned "eth1". This is not a blocking issue, but its going to confuse our customers and we wanted to make it easier on them.
From reading online discussion boards, I know HOW to switch the assignment of the eth names. However, what I am do not know is whether I need to switch them at all. So I have two questions
1) Is there anyway for me to tell which eth mac corresponds to which port on the back? Since they are soldered on the motherboard and not movable, I would think there would be some way to figure out that x mac address corresponds to the upper port (marked '1' etc).
2) Is there a way to tell this by running a linux command? We need to do this automatically so I need to be able to figure it out at install time from the kickstart post-install or similar.
Why does a NIC need a permanent individual way to distinguish it? Why not give it the host name in a form that is not a permanent hardwired hardware? Seems that the last ethernet router before reaching your PC is really seeking your NIC. So why is not the expression "What is your NIC Address" instead of "What is your IP Address"?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have set up OpenVPN server using a bridged configuration. My networking "powers" aren't that advanced, so I did this by following the openvpn tutorial for bridged servers. I have tested this with several clients connecting to my server from different locations and it works very nicely (including broadcasts).
My server's LAN IP address is 192.168.2.4, and my LAN's mask is 24. Clients connecting to my server get assigned IP address that also fall within that subnet (i.e., the 192.168.2.x pool contains both physical machines in my home and "virtual" hosts). This is what the OpenVPN walkthrough specifies:

I was wondering if it would be possible for the VPN to fall within a different subnet (such as 10.0.1.x). I would also like to do that without adding another physical NIC to my server, or changing my physical IP address. I would imagine this is possible, since that's how hamachi does it.
