In setting up my brand spanking new firewall and dmz, I had to revisit the naming of ethernet devices and the configuration of them.
this is on RHL 7.3 and I needed 3 nics with one of them a fiber nic in a particular device if the firewall setup I had woring in the lab was going to work. I could have changed the rules and let it go but it pissed me off so I dinked with it until I got it how I liked it. So, I have a couple of questions that if I had had the anwers to last night would have maked things WAY easier. what does the line like DEVICE=eth0 in the ifcfg-eth? files do? I thoughe it was going to force say a NIC recognozed as eth0 to be logically eth1 if I had DEVICE=eth1 in there. Then I thought that maybe it was the other way around I finally punted and started swapping cards the cards are interesting. THe motherboeard is a Gigabyte with a DURON 800 in it. It has three pic slots. the middle one was recognized as eth0. Go figure. do the alias lines in modules.conf set this up or do they have to be aliased as the machine sees them For instance I have three nics all of a different manuacture and driver ( I fought trying to get two kingstons to work with the kudzu selected tulip driver and never did get it to work.) what is the relationship between network-scipts/ifcfg-eth* files and networking/devices/ifcfg-eth* and networking/profiles/default/ifcfg-eth* files is this documented some where or do I need to go script surfing to fiure it out? I ended up deleteing all but the network-scripts versions to get the config to take. I thought for a few minutes that the windows if it don't work reinstall mentality was going to kick in. redhat-config-network crashed on this box now and I don't know if it is something that I did to the config files or if it is just a pretty tool that simply does not work. I think there are still remenamts of the test config in there since the local net interface jthat was setup at onetime as dhcp just decied to reset it self to the dhcp values instead of the hardcoded ones in ifcfg-eht1 Any tips appreciated.
