• Linux How To Change NIC Name to eth0 instead of enps33 or enp0s25


    Most newer distros inexplicably cause your NIC to have what Icall "random" non-standard name conventions because of systemd. This is a big problem for many people and especially those running servers. Imagine that you have a static IPconfigured for ens33 but then the hard disk is moved to a newer system, the NIC could be anything from ens33 to enp0s1, meaning that manual intervention is required to go and update the NIC config file (eg. /etc/network/interfa........
  • CentOS 6 and 7 / RHEL Persistent DHCP Solution


    It is very silly but the default on the ifup-eth script tells dhclient ( the program that obtains a DHCP IPaddress if you have selected DHCPin your ifcfg-eth* config file) to EXIT / QUIT if the first attempt to obtain a lease fails. No amount of dhclient.conf settings will fix this because if dhclient is started with -1 (which it is by default)then dhclient will quit. This is obviously very bad for MOST cases. Say for example you have a power outage or........
  • Centos 6 or 7 no DHCP IP during startup on first boot or reboot solution


    This is usually because of STP causing a delay in the negotiation. Edit your ifcfg script eg: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 Add a LINKDELAY of 30 seconds or whatever works for you: LINKDELAY=30 After that you should have an IP during bootup.........
  • Centos 7 Migration Guide from Centos 6


    Centos 7 is no cakewalk, there are many fundamental features and basic utilities that are missing or even completely renamed or different! Another shocking thing is to check your NIC it is set by default to not turn on when booting! And by the way there is no more standard eth0 the NIC convention is now "enp0s3" vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp0s3........
  • Centos Add Multiple IP Addresses in a range without manually setting each static IP


    This is actually very simple and this example assumes your network device is "eth0" In Centos your network config would be the following: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 Take the same path and just add a "-range0" So to add a range create the following file: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0-range0 IPADDR_START=192.168.1.50 IPADD........
  • Centos automatic ifcfg-eth0 scripts based on list of IPs from bash


    It's a basic script that reads the file "ips.txt" in the current directory and then creates a corresponding ifcfg file     #!/bin/bash GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 device=eth0 counter=0 for ips in `cat ips.txt`; do........
  • How To Set DHCP/Static IP Address in Centos/RHEL/Fedora & Debian/Ubuntu/Kubuntu/MEPIS Set DHCP/Static IP Address


    Basically the two main types of distros are Debian and RHEL/Centos based. I'm just going to give a quick overview of how the configuration of IP interfaces works in Debian/Centos based distros. *Just one thing to remember, when setting IPs statically you have to manually specify a DNS server in /etc/resolv.conf (since DHCP is what normally does it automatically) Debian/Ubuntu/Kubuntu/MEPIS The IP (DHCP &........
  • Setup Static IP Address ONBOOT


    Setup Static IP Address ONBOOTAssuming you are using eth0 Note this will work for any version of CentOS and basically any version of Redhat Linux or Redhat based distribution. You would need to create a new file [code:1:02f8d34c30] /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0[/code:1:02f8d34c30] DEVICE=eth0:0 the ":0" at the end specifies alias 0 we could actually change this to ":99" or "........
