Hello all,
I have a production server with two network interfaces. The
primary interface is up and running. (DHCP from the local Telco)
The second interface is installed, but not yet active. It will run
on a local network only. Can I do something as simple as ifconfig
nfe1 192.168.0.100
to give myself access to the internal network? As this is a
production server, I don't want to just play with it too much.
Thanks,
Ray
You'd have to
ifconfig nfe1 192.168.0.100 netmask ###.###.###.###
But don't worry - If you mistype, or make some other error (Like
forgetting to specify the gateway for the connection), nothing
happens. You'll just get an error printed to stdout and the netif
will remain untouched.
You can shorten that command using CIDR notation as well:
ifconfig nfe1 192.168.0.100/24
