NST Script: nstnetcfg
See page: HowTo Setup a Server With Multiple Network Interface Adapters Using: "nstnetcfg" for a simplified means of setting up networking on an NST system.
Accessing Network Configuration Files
To easily access the network configuration files, simply use the bash alias: "cdnet":
[root@probe network-scripts]#
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts [root@probe network-scripts]#
NST Script: nstnetcfg

How To Specify A Host Name To A DHCP Server
Some times it is desirable to specify a host name at the DHCP Client to be recognized by the DHCP Server. This will allow for local host names to be resolved by their respective name on the local LAN. This works well with a DD-WRT enabled LinkSys router and bind.
To do this, add the following line to your network configuration file (Example for: eth0 - We will use file: "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0" and request that the DHCP server set this system's host name to: "emachine".):
DHCP_HOSTNAME=<Your desired host name for this NST DHCP client>
Both the "network" service and the NetworkManager service support this setting for DHCP.
# # DHCP Client Config: eth0 DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp ONBOOT=yes # # Disable capabilities security feature when running dhclient so we # can run the NST dhclient exit hook script: "/etc/dhcp/dhclient.d/nst.sh". DHCLIENTARGS="-nc" # # Specify the 'dhclient' host-name option (-H) to send to the DHCP server. DHCP_HOSTNAME=emachine
How To Permanently Set The Host Name Of Your NST System
To do this, add/change the following line to the system configuration file: "/etc/sysconfig/network"
HOSTNAME=<your desired host name for this NST system>
NetworkManager will be notified of this change and automatically set the system "hostname". The example below sets the system host name to: "emachine". Typically, if this system is a DHCP client, both the "DHCP_HOSTNAME" discussed above and the "HOSTNAME" entries are set identically.
NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=emachine NOZEROCONF=yes
A system reboot can be done to verify all changes.
Configuring A Static IP Address
If the network your interface is connected to does not have a DHCP server, you will need to configure your system to use a static IP address. The following shows the contents of file: "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0" which is used to assign a static IP address of: "192.168.12.100" to eth0 (an Ethernet interface):
DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=192.168.12.100 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=192.168.12.0 BROADCAST=192.168.12.255 GATEWAY=192.168.12.1 ONBOOT=yes
Note 2: Make sure the NetworkManager" service is disabled: systemctl disable NetworkManager.service;
Note 3: Make sure the "network" service is enabled: systemctl enable network.service;
Configuring A Stealth Network Interface
In order to configure a stealth (i.e., A network interface with a non-binding IP Address) network interface set the BOOTPROTO setting to: "none". Example: Make network interface: "eth1" at stealth interface using this minimal configuration:
DEVICE=eth1 BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes
Restarting the Network Service
After editing any network configuration file, you should restart the network service as shown below:
[root@tmobile network-scripts]# service network restart Shutting down interface eth0: [ OK ] Shutting down loopback interface: [ OK ] Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ] Bringing up interface eth0: [ OK ]
For "NST 15" and above use the systemctl command:
[root@tmobile network-scripts]# systemctl restart network.service
Display Routing Table
The following command can be used to display your network routing table (the -n option was included to prevent the route command from trying to resolve names):
Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
IP Aliasing (Multi-Net)
Overview
An IP Alias allows you to configure multiple IP Addresses onto a physical device (NIC). IP aliasing is known as network layer virtual hosting. It is common to use an IP Aliases with Apache Virtual Hosting.

The IP Alias command above produced a virtual host address for the p5p1 network interface using IP Address: "10.222.222.83". IP Aliases are referred to by appending ":n" to the actual network interface device, in which "n" is an integer. In our example, we created the IP Alias on NIC: "p5p1" , with alias number "Zero (0)".
All network statistics associated with each IP Alias interface are combined with the physical network interface. To get individual statistics for an IP Aliased Interface then accounting rules would need to be used through the iptables command.
HowTo Remove An IP Alias
To remove an IP Alias use the ifconfig command "down" option:
HowTo Permanently Add An IP Alias
This procedure uses the "network" service. The following shows the contents of file: "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-p5p1:0" which is used to assign a static IP Alias address of: "10.222.222.83" to network interface: "p5p1:0"

Create Predictable Network Interface Names
Some information in this section was derived from the sites: freedesktop.org and Creating stable names for network interfaces on Linux
Overview
Starting with v197 systemd/udev will automatically assign predictable, stable network interface names for all local Ethernet, WLAN and WWAN interfaces. This is a departure from the traditional interface naming scheme ("eth0", "eth1", "wlan0", ...), but should fix real problems. The classic naming scheme for network interfaces applied by the kernel is to simply assign names beginning with "eth0", "eth1", ... to all interfaces as they are probed by the drivers. As the driver probing is generally not predictable for modern technology this means that as soon as multiple network interfaces are available the assignment of the names "eth0", "eth1" and so on is generally not fixed anymore and it might very well happen that "eth0" on one boot ends up being "eth1" on the next. This can have serious security implications, for example in firewall rules which are coded for certain naming schemes, and which are hence very sensitive to unpredictable changing names.
With systemd 197 we have added native support for a number of different naming policies into systemd/udevd proper and made a scheme similar to biosdevname's (but generally more powerful, and closer to kernel-internal device identification schemes) the default. The following different naming schemes for network interfaces are now supported by udev natively:
- Names incorporating Firmware/BIOS provided index numbers for on-board devices (example: eno1)
- Names incorporating Firmware/BIOS provided PCI Express hotplug slot index numbers (example: ens1)
- Names incorporating physical/geographical location of the connector of the hardware (example: enp2s0)
- Names incorporating the interfaces's MAC address (example: enx78e7d1ea46da)
- Classic, unpredictable kernel-native ethX naming (example: eth0)
By default, systemd v197 will now name interfaces following policy 1) if that information from the firmware is applicable and available, falling back to 2) if that information from the firmware is applicable and available, falling back to 3) if applicable, falling back to 5) in all other cases. Policy 4) is not used by default, but is available if the user chooses so.
This combined policy is only applied as last resort. That means, if the system has biosdevname installed, it will take precedence. If the user has added udev rules which change the name of the kernel devices these will take precedence too. Also, any distribution specific naming schemes generally take precedence.
The naming convention is documented in detail in a comment block for source code file: "udev-builtin-net_id.c". Please refer to document in case you are wondering how to decode the new interface names.
biosdevname=0
If you do this the naming convention described above will be used.
To disable both the "biosdevnames" renaming and the "udev" renaming so that the original Kernel "ethx" (e.g., eth0) networking interface naming is used, which may be unpredictable, the use the following Kernel command line parameters:
biosdevname=0 net.ifnames=0
Ways To Alter The Network Interface Names
You basically have four options:
- You disable the assignment of fixed names, so that the unpredictable kernel names are used again. For this, simply mask udev's rule file for the default policy: ln -s /dev/null /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules
- You create your own manual naming scheme, for example by naming your interfaces "internet0", "dmz0" or "lan0". For that create your own udev rules file and set the NAME property for the devices. Make sure to order it before the default policy file, for example by naming it /etc/udev/rules.d/70-my-net-names.rules
- You alter the default policy file, for picking a different naming scheme, for example for naming all interface names after their MAC address by default: cp /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules, then edit the file there and change the lines as necessary.
- You pass the net.ifnames=0 on the kernel command line (since v199)
Example: Want to Shorten the Network Interface Name: eno16777736 To eno1
Here is an example on how to change the network interface name: "eno16777736" to "eno1".
Before Interface Name Change:
[root@localhost network-scripts]# ip addr show
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 ::1/128 scope host
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: eno16777736: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether 00:0c:29:d2:af:fc brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 10.222.222.116/24 brd 10.222.222.255 scope global dynamic eno1
valid_lft 54243sec preferred_lft 54243sec
inet6 fe80::20c:29ff:fed2:affc/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
We will use the Bus position as the key to identify the network interface name to change for the udev rule. Here is a way to find the Bus position:
for dir in /sys/class/net/* ; do
[ -e $dir/device ] && {
basename $dir ; readlink -f $dir/device
}
done
Results:
eno16777736 /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:15.0/0000:03:00.0
Use the udevadm utility to list all udev environment variables for this network device (eno16777736):
udevadm info /sys/class/net/eno16777736 P: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:15.0/0000:03:00.0/net/eno16777736 E: DEVPATH=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:15.0/0000:03:00.0/net/eno16777736 E: ID_BUS=pci E: ID_MM_CANDIDATE=1 E: ID_MODEL_FROM_DATABASE=VMXNET3 Ethernet Controller E: ID_MODEL_ID=0x07b0 E: ID_NET_LABEL_ONBOARD=enEthernet0 E: ID_NET_NAME_MAC=enx000c29d2affc E: ID_NET_NAME_ONBOARD=eno16777736 E: ID_NET_NAME_PATH=enp3s0 E: ID_NET_NAME_SLOT=ens160 E: ID_OUI_FROM_DATABASE=VMware, Inc. E: ID_PCI_CLASS_FROM_DATABASE=Network controller E: ID_PCI_SUBCLASS_FROM_DATABASE=Ethernet controller E: ID_VENDOR_FROM_DATABASE=VMware E: ID_VENDOR_ID=0x15ad E: IFINDEX=2 E: INTERFACE=eno16777736 E: SUBSYSTEM=net E: SYSTEMD_ALIAS=/sys/subsystem/net/devices/eno16777736 E: TAGS=:systemd: E: USEC_INITIALIZED=30960
From the results we will now create a custom udev rules file: "/etc/udev/rules.d/79-my-net-name-slot.rules" to shorten the long network interface name to: "eno1":
cat /etc/udev/rules.d/79-my-net-name-slot.rules;
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", ENV{ID_BUS}=="pci", KERNELS=="0000:03:00.0", NAME="eno1"
cat /etc/udev/rules.d/79-my-net-name-slot.rules;
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", ENV{ID_NET_NAME_MAC}=="enx000c29d2affc", NAME="eno1"
- OR -
cat /etc/udev/rules.d/79-my-net-name-slot.rules;
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="00:0c:29:d2:af:fc", NAME="eno1"
Files in "/etc/udev/rules.d/" are parsed in lexical order, and in some circumstances, the order in which rules are parsed is important. In general, you want your own rules to be parsed before the defaults. Therefore the udev rules file: "/etc/udev/rules.d/79-my-net-name-slot.rules" will be parsed before the default network udev rules file: "/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules".
One can learn about writing udev rules files at the site: "reactivated.net - Writing udev Rules".
One can now reboot the NST system for the interface name change to take effect:
After Interface Name Change:
[root@localhost network-scripts]# ip addr show
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 ::1/128 scope host
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: eno1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether 00:0c:29:d2:af:fc brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 10.222.222.116/24 brd 10.222.222.255 scope global dynamic eno1
valid_lft 54243sec preferred_lft 54243sec
inet6 fe80::20c:29ff:fed2:affc/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
The udevadm utility now reveals the following for network device: "eno1"
udevadm info /sys/class/net/eno1 P: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:15.0/0000:03:00.0/net/eno1 E: DEVPATH=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:15.0/0000:03:00.0/net/eno1 E: ID_BUS=pci E: ID_MM_CANDIDATE=1 E: ID_MODEL_FROM_DATABASE=VMXNET3 Ethernet Controller E: ID_MODEL_ID=0x07b0 E: ID_NET_LABEL_ONBOARD=enEthernet0 E: ID_NET_NAME_MAC=enx000c29d2affc E: ID_NET_NAME_ONBOARD=eno16777736 E: ID_NET_NAME_PATH=enp3s0 E: ID_NET_NAME_SLOT=ens160 E: ID_OUI_FROM_DATABASE=VMware, Inc.

HowTo Debug A udev Rules File
One can use the "udevadm test <devpath>" command to verify, detect any errors and debug your udev rules file. The "<devpath>" is the "/sys" path of the device to query. Below is an example for our network interface device: "eno1"
udevadm test /sys/class/net/eno1 calling: test version 208 This program is for debugging only, it does not run any program specified by a RUN key.

This command will verify the correct syntax for each udev rules file and also show the order in which each rules file is processed. If a syntax error had occurred, it would be shown for the offending file. Most likely any errors that occurred would be associated with our custom udev rules file.
The custom udev rules file: "/etc/udev/rules.d/79-my-net-name-slot.rules" is in Italic Bold text above and is also shown as the udev rules file that was responsible for the network interface rename from eth0 to eno1.
From dmesg we see when the actual udev rule was used to rename the network interface during the system boot process:
[ 4.526042] systemd-udevd[419]: renamed network interface eth0 to eno1
