ipath_ether Configuration on Fedora and RHEL4
These configuration steps will cause the ipath_ether network interfaces to be
automatically configured when you next reboot the system. These instructions are
for the
Typically on servers there are two Ethernet devices present, numbered as 0 (eth0)
and 1 (eth1). This example assumes we create a third device, eth2.
NOTE:
1. Check for the number of Ethernet drivers you currently have by either one of
the two following commands :
$ ifconfig -a
$ ls /sys/class/net
As mentioned above we assume that two Ethernet devices (numbered 0 and
1) are already present.
2. Edit the file
alias eth2 ipath_ether
3. Create or edit the following file (as root).
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2
If you are using DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol), add the following
lines to ifcfg-eth2:
# QLogic Interconnect Ethernet
DEVICE=eth2
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
If you are using static IP addresses, use the following lines instead, substituting
your own IP address for the sample one given here
netmask is shown.
# QLogic Interconnect Ethernet
DEVICE=eth2
BOOTPROTO=static
ONBOOT=YES
IPADDR=192.168.5.101 #Substitute your IP address here

When multiple InfiniPath chips are present, the configuration for eth3,
eth4, and so on follow the same format as for adding eth2 in the
examples below.
