If we pre-populate > eth0 to eth4 with dhcp method in the template will that break anything? Running DHCP on multiple interfaces can cause the default gateway to switch. This has caused me a lot of PITA on AWS EC2 instances. I now statically assign the IP Addressed on the non primary interfaces. As far as template creation goes, I only check for eth0. Its upto the end user to decide how he wants to get his additional interfaces up. If you can, check a AWS CentOS/Ubuntu template on how they handle it. > > Thanks > Saurav > > > On Fri, Jun 20, 2014 at 9:33 AM, Shanker Balan <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> Comments inline. >> >> On 19-Jun-2014, at 7:55 pm, Saurav Lahiri <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> >>> Hello, >>> We are running an ubuntu 13.10 vm.
