Trying to override MAC addr

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



I am trying to override the mac addr.  Now this is on an armv7 actually 
running the F19 kernel and Redsleeve 6, but it SHOULD be standard 
Centos6 ifcfg-eth0 content.  Of course RSEL does not start with a 
ifcfg-eth0 file, letting network services do all the work, so I am 
starting from scratch, using the file from one of my C6 boxes with 
static addressing.  My file has in it:

DEVICE="eth0"
BOOTPROTO=none
NM_CONTROLLED="no"
ONBOOT="yes"
TYPE="Ethernet"
NAME="System eth0"
DNS1=208.83.67.188
GATEWAY="208.83.67.177"
IPADDR="208.83.67.179"
HOSTNAME="rigel2.htt-consult.com"
IPV6INIT="yes"
MACADDR=02:67:15:00:01:79
MTU=1500

And when I restart network, it can't find eth0:

# service network restart
Shutting down loopback interface:  [  OK  ]
Bringing up loopback interface:  [  OK  ]
Bringing up interface eth0:  Device eth0 does not seem to be present, 
delaying initialization.
[FAILED]

but:

# ifconfig
eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 02:67:15:00:01:79
           inet addr:208.83.67.179  Bcast:208.83.67.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
           inet6 addr: 2607:f4b8:3:3:67:15ff:fe00:179/64 Scope:Global
           inet6 addr: fe80::67:15ff:fe00:179/64 Scope:Link
           UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
           RX packets:254 errors:0 dropped:17 overruns:0 frame:0
           TX packets:70 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
           collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
           RX bytes:26575 (25.9 KiB)  TX bytes:6104 (5.9 KiB)
           Interrupt:87 Base address:0x6000

The assigned MAC addr for eth0 is: 02:c3:04:01:77:c3

The tutorials that I have found on ifcfg-ethN say not to use both hwaddr 
and macaddr in the same cfg file, but it almost seems that is what is 
needed?

thanks
