[Devil-Linux-discuss] Dummy interfaces

[Arnaud Gomes-do-V. <Arn...@ir...>]

Hi,

Just a tip I stumbled upon: even though dummy interfaces are not
supported, you can configure one by making /etc/init.d/network mistake
it for an ethernet interface. You just have to name the configuration
file /etc/sysconfig/nic/ifcfg-eth<something>. Here is my
/etc/sysconfig/nic/ifcfg-eth-dummy0:

# ********************************************************************
DEVICE=dummy0
ONBOOT=yes
DHCP=no
IP=129.102.255.0
NETMASK=/32
MODULE=dummy
IPV6ADDR=2001:660:3004:255::1:0/128
# ********************************************************************
