NAME¶

ifcfg-dummy - Dummy interface configuration

SYNOPSIS¶

/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-*

Dummy Interfaces¶

To setup a dummy interface you either need a configuration file with basename ifcfg-dummy (ie. ifcfg-dummy0) or one that explicitly sets the

INTERFACETYPE

variable to "dummy".

BOOTPROTO

may be set to "none", or if a static IP and route configuration is desired, may be set to "static". Note that "dhcp" and others are not supported. See also man ifcfg and man routes for details.

EXAMPLES¶

Sets up dummy0 interface:

ifcfg-dummy0

   STARTMODE='auto'


   BOOTPROTO='static'


   IPADDR='10.0.0.100/24'
