 Posted: Sat Aug 30, 2003 2:06 pm Post subject: assigning IP to eth0:1 over DHCP |
 |
|
Hi, i want to be able to assign two IP's to my eth0 interface running on a pxe booted diskless system. as pxe obtains the first ip from dhcp it doesn't transfer a hostname than my dns can use, so on boot i want to get a second ip on eth0:1 using conventional dhcpcd so it will pass a correct hostname...
now i can achieve this manually.... "dhcpd -D -h animal eth0:1" but setting the equivalent options causes syntax errors in the file, obviosuly because of the ":".... so what can i do other than just adding the manual command.... surely this is easy for gentoo!
[or of course if anyone knows if it is possible to achieve what i originally want via pxe...] |

if you just want to have an hostname pointing to your ip and just want this hostname to be automatically passed to the dhcp/dns at boot on eth0 you just have to look in /etc/conf.d/net for the line:
then just uncomment it and add:
| Code: | | dchpcd_eth0="-h yourhostname" |
Hope this help |

| yes but this then replaces the first IP, not assigning a second. replacing the first IP means that the nfs mount is incorrect, and the system dies instantly, what with no longer having any filesystem at all and all that. |

you could add dhcpd -D -h animal eth0:1 to your /etc/conf.d/local.start

if it bails out on the : in net.eth0 then you could try \: or something.. or net.eth0:1
