- Copy the network interface MAC address as displayed in the "ifconfig" command output after the attribute "ether"
change directory to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
Code Block language bash theme RDark cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
duplicate the eth0 (first network interface) network interface configuration file for the new network interface file (eth1)
Code Block language bash theme RDark cp ifcfg-eth0 ifcfg-eth1
Edit the new file (ifcdfifcfg-eth1) and alter the following attributes based on the new network interface properties
Code Block language bash theme RDark DEVICE=eth1 BOOTPROTO=static ONBOOT=yes NM_CONTROLLED=no HWADDR=00:0c:29:14:7a:88 IPADDR=192.168.1.178 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 USERCTL=no DNS1=8.8.8.8 DNS2=8.8.4.4 IFCONFIG_OPTS="txqueuelen 10000"
DEVICE : The network interface device name should be eth1
HWADDR : The network interface MAC address as displayed at section 1.
NETMASK : The network mask based on the new interface properties (the network administrator should supply this information)Restart the network service by entering the following command
Code Block language bash theme RDark service network restart The command output should be : Restarting network (via systemctl): [ OK ]
- Use the command "ifconfig" to make sure the new network interface is up and configured with the correct IP address
If the new IP address is not displayed restart the server. - sdf
Configure Routing
In order to support the second network interface a new routing table and routing rule should be defined.
Create New Routing Table
Edit the file /etc/iproute2/rt_tables and add new routing table entry with id "1" named "rt1"
In order to add new routing entry to the new routing table use the "ip route" command.
This command will add new temporary entry to the routing table.Add a default gateway entry :
Code Block default via <interface default gateway> dev <interface name> table <routing table name>
Example : For adding the default gateway 192.168.1.1 to interface eth1Code Block ip route add default via 192.168.1.1 dev eth1 table rt1
After confirming the needed network connectivity to the monitored device.
