Consult: /usr/share/doc/initscripts-7.93.5/sysconfig.txt ------------------------------------------------------------------------ /etc/sysconfig/network: NETWORKING=yes|no HOSTNAME=<fqdn by default, but whatever hostname you want> GATEWAY=<gateway IP> GATEWAYDEV=<gateway device to use, when multiple devices have GATEWAY=> (e.g. eth0) NISDOMAIN=<nis domain name> VLAN=yes|no IPX=yes|no IPXAUTOPRIMARY=on|off (note, that MUST be on|off, not yes|no) IPXAUTOFRAME=on|off (again, not yes|no) IPXINTERNALNETNUM=<netnum> IPXINTERNALNODENUM=<nodenum> [....] Ethernet 802.1q VLAN items: DEVICE=eth0.42 Initscripts use DEV_PLUS_VID_NO_PAD naming mode for VLAN devices. Example: eth0.42 for vlan 42 on device eth0. Valid VLAN ID range is 0-4095. Most ethernet switches reserve VLAN ID 1 to be used as management VLAN; starting from VLAN ID 2 is recommended. REORDER_HDR=yes|no When enabled the VLAN device will move the ethernet header around to make it look exactly like a real ethernet device. This may help programs such as ISC dhcpd which read the raw ethernet packet and make assumptions about the location of bytes. If you don't need it turn it off because there is a small performance penalty. Default is on. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
