http://serverfault.com – I want my VMware vmxnet3 interface to be brought up with DHCP on boot. I can manually configure the NIC with: # ifconfig vmxnet3s0 plumb # ipadm create-addr -T dhcp vmxnet3s0/v4dhcp But after creating /etc/dhcp.vmxnet3s0 and rebooting, the interface is down and the logs show: Aug 13 09:34:15 neumann vmxnet3s: [ID 654879 kern.notice] vmxnet3s:0: getcapab(0x200000) -> no Aug 13 09:34:15 neumann vmxnet3s: [ID 715698 kern.notice] vmxnet3s:0: stop() Aug 13 09:34:17 neumann vmxnet3s: [ID 654879 kern.notice] vmxnet3s:0: getcapab(0x200000) -> no Aug 13 09:34:17 neumann vmxnet3s: [ID 920500 k (HowTos)

eth dropping from dhcp loss 47 weeks 5 days ago

I took down my DHCP server to change some stuff, and after bringing it back up (down for 15 mins or so), I noticed that four other Ubuntu 12.04 servers set to use DHCP were unreachable. Running ifconfig on them returned just lo, so the eth0 and eth1 had been disabled.

I'm assuming the DHCP server missing caused them to shutdown the interface?

During the Postgres Installation on Mac OS X 10.7, I get the following message:

Your system seems to be configured with less than 32MB of shared memory, which is required for this application.

I am using an embedded linux distro with busybox utilities.

In my CentOS 6.2 server, I have the following configuration for networking:

It isn't installed NetworkManager service on eth0 I have a DHCP configuration on eth0:1 alias interface I have a static IP, lets say 10.10.10.10

When I have connected my server to internet and boot up, both interfaces are brought up well, but when I don't have a connection to the internet (with other words, when it isn

I want to configure my eth0 interface using an external DHCP server (resident in my subnet), so I edited /etc/network/configure with the lines

auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp

but I also want to use avahi autoconfiguration when the DHCP server is down.

So I tried ifup eth0 when the server is down, and after a certain amount of time it fails, but the interface eth0:avahi is correctly configured

In the LXC config file we can specify an IP address for a container:

lxc.network.type=veth lxc.network.link=br0 lxc.network.ipv4 = 10.1.0.35/16 lxc.network.flags=up lxc.network.hwaddr= 00:16:3e:24:26:33

But if the container has the default configuration of DHCP, what's going to happen:

# The primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp

Does LXC act as a DHCP server for the conta

I use wicd to connect to wireless lans without probs and the relevant part of my rc.conf looks like this:# Use 'ifconfig -a' or 'ls /sys/class/net/' to see all available interfaces. # # Interfaces to start at boot-up (in this order) # Declare each interface then list in INTERFACES # - prefix an entry in INTERFACES with a !

I have only One dhcp server which has only one interface with ip address 10.0.0.1/24.
