iv. Reload the network driver for changes to take effect.
[root@host~]# rmmod cxgb4
[root@host~]# modprobe cxgb4
If default option is selected in step ii, reboot the machine for changes to take effect.

Configuring network-scripts

A typical interface network-script (e.g., eth0) on RHEL 6.X looks like the following:
# file: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE="eth0"
HWADDR=00:30:48:32:6A:AA
ONBOOT="yes"
NM_CONTROLLED="no"
BOOTPROTO="static"
IPADDR=10.192.167.111
NETMASK=255.255.240.0
On earlier versions of RHEL the NETMASK attribute is named IPMASK. Make sure
Note
you are using the right attribute name.
In the case of DHCP addressing the last two lines should be removed and
BOOTPROTO="static"
The ifcfg-ethX files have to be created manually. They are required for bringing the
interfaces up and down and attribute the desired IP addresses.
4.3.

Creating network-scripts

To spot the new interfaces, make sure the driver is unloaded first. To that point
grep HWaddr
should display all non-chelsio interfaces whose drivers are loaded, whether the
interfaces are up or not.
[root@host~]# ifconfig -a | grep HWaddr
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:30:48:32:6A:AA
Chelsio Unified Wire for Linux
should be changed to
BOOTPROTO="dhcp"
ifconfig -a |
