My etc/network/interfaces file originally only included info regarding lo:
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
ifconfig shows me that eth0 is getting an IP from DHCP.
Here's what I want to do instead:
- create a bridge group
- take eth0 and eth1 and add them to the bridge group
- eth0 and eth1 do not get IPs
- assign ip address 192.168.1.253 to the bridge
- add a default route
So the first thing I thought I should do is edit etc/network/interfaces to this:
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet manual
pre-up ifconfig $IFACE up
pre-down ifconfig $IFACE down
allow-hotplug eth1
iface eth1 inet manual
pre-up ifconfig $IFACE up
pre-down ifconfig $IFACE down
auto br0
iface br0 inet static
bridge_ports eth0 eth1
address 192.168.1.253
broadcast 192.169.1.255
netmask 255.255.255.0
If I reboot, eth0 grabs an IP from DHCP and the bridge is nowhere to be seen. However cat /etc/network/interfaces shows my config is still there
How can I check to see if something is overriding this config? (there's no interfaces.d directory)
Or is something wrong with my code as shown above?
I'm running WANem 3.0 on Knoppix
