| 241 | The first variable you'll find is <c>iface_eth0</c>. It uses the following |
241 | The first variable you'll find is called <c>config_eth0</c>. As you can probably |
| 242 | syntax: |
242 | imagine, this variable configured the eth0 network interface. If the interface |
| 243 | </p> |
243 | needs to automatically obtain an IP through DHCP, you should set it like so: |
| 244 | |
|
|
| 245 | <pre caption="iface_eth0 syntaxis"> |
|
|
| 246 | iface_eth0="<i><your ip address></i> broadcast <i><your broadcast address></i> netmask <i><your netmask></i>" |
|
|
| 247 | </pre> |
|
|
| 248 | |
|
|
| 249 | <p> |
244 | </p> |
| 250 | If you use DHCP (automatic IP retrieval), you should just set <c>iface_eth0</c> |
245 | |
| 251 | to <c>dhcp</c>. If you use rp-pppoe (e.g. for ADSL), set it to <c>up</c>. |
246 | <pre caption="Automatically obtaining an IP for eth0"> |
| 252 | If you need to set up your network manually and you're |
247 | config_eth0=( "dhcp" ) |
| 253 | not familiar with all the above terms, please read the section on <uri |
248 | </pre> |
| 254 | link="?part=1&chap=3#network_term">Understanding Network |

250 | <p> |
| 257 | |
251 | However, if you have to enter your own IP address, netmask and gateway, you need |
|
|
252 | to set both <c>config_eth0</c> and <c>routes_eth0</c>: |
| 258 | <p> |
253 | </p> |
| 259 | So let us give three examples; the first one uses DHCP, the second one a static |
254 | |
| 260 | IP (192.168.0.2) with netmask 255.255.255.0, broadcast 192.168.0.255 and |
255 | <pre caption="Manually setting IP information for eth0"> |
| 261 | gateway 192.168.0.1 while the third one just activates the interface for |
256 | config_eth0=( "192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0" ) |
| 262 | rp-pppoe usage: |
257 | routes_eth0=( "default gw 192.168.0.1" ) |

| 286 | If you have several network interfaces, create extra <c>iface_eth</c> variables, |
|
|
| 287 | like <c>iface_eth1</c>, <c>iface_eth2</c> etc. The <c>gateway</c> variable |
|
|
| 288 | shouldn't be reproduced as you can only set one gateway per computer. |
