Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Security and Technology : Weird IP config problem..

[bizantium]

One of my client asked me to customize his new Fedora cpanel box.

The problem is everytime I rebooted the server, all IPs config are gone, only left eth0 and lo address.

All eth0:1, eth0:2 and so on are missing.

For the quick solution, I just added /sbin/ifconfig commands into /etc/rc.local file.

But I'm very curious, anybody know why all the IPs config always gone after server reboot?

Thanks in advance.

John.

ls /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth*

It's probably missing scripts for the aliased interfaces, or they're not configured to automatically come up at boot.

Thank you for your reply.
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 exist into the box.

Please let me know who to check if they automatically load at the boot or not and how to fix it.

Thanks in advance.

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 will bring up eth0, but you should also have ifcfg-eth0:0, ifcfg-eth0:1, etc. files for the aliased interfaces. If these don't exist, copy them from ifcfg-eth0 and update as necessary.
