Configuring Additional NIC Cards
If the NIC card is not recognized by BIOS (for example, for a non-appliance server machine), you
•
may need to adjust IRQ/memory settings as per the manufacturer's recommendations.
• Once the NIC is recognized by BIOS, it should be automatically recognized by the software (Linux).
If for some reason, the NIC is recognized by BIOS, but not by Linux, then login to the system and
run "kudzu". This will bring up a utility that helps you configure the NIC.
To Configure an Additional NIC:
Step 1 To verify that the NIC has been recognized by Linux, type
number). For example, if adding a NIC to a system that already has two built-in Ethernet interfaces (eth0
and eth1), n is 2 and you enter
Verify that the output displays information about the interface including MAC address and transmit and
Step 2
receive counters. This means the interface is recognized by Linux and can be used.
Change to the following directory:
Step 3
cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
Use vi to edit the
Step 4
vi ifcfg-eth2
Add the following lines into the file—replacing

actual values suitable for your network:
DEVICE=eth2
IPADDR=192.168.0.253
NETMASK=255.255.255.252
BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
NETWORK=192.168.0.252
BOOTPROTO=static
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
Save the file and reboot the system. The network interface is now ready to be used for HA.

Note Static IP addresses must be configured for the CAM/CAS interfaces. DHCP mode is not supported for
configuration of these interfaces.
