You can read "man interfaces" for the full details, but this is what it
should be...
# Configure ethernet interface
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 10.10.10.254
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 10.10.10.255
The "auto eth1" tells it to start on boot up, the "iface" configures "eth1"
as a "inet" (TCP/IP) "static" address. Then of course the next lines are
what that address should be.

Hello,
I want to make my network config permanent with the /etc/network/interfaces
file in Debian 2.2. The file is as follows:
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)
#
# Configure loopback interface
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
# Configure ethernet interface
IPADDR="10.10.10.254"
NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
BROADCAST="10.10.10.255"
ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast ${BROADCAST}
It doesn't seem to work. When I boot up the interface does not get
configured. The message I get is:
Configuring network interfaces: /etc/network/interfaces: option without
interface
Any help would be appreciated...
Bill
