When your system is up you can start your eth2 by just one command,
--ifconfig eth2 add "ip-address" netmask "netmask" up
or you can make one file (If you are using Redhat)
# cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
make here new file called "ifcfg-eth2" and contens should be as below:
DEVICE=eth2
BOOTPROTO=static
BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
HWADDR=00:0e:56:58:A2:86
IPADDR=192.168.0.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.0.0
>TYPE=Ethernet

Hi,
how do I add a new network interface or adapter.
I want to add a new interface eth2 and configure it in such a way so that eth2 is up at boot time but has no ip address so that i can configure its ip after it boots.
thanks.
cheers,
nikhil
