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 the DUMMY=yes variable set or one using a config file name ifcfg-dummyX (e.g. ifcfg-dummy0).

DUMMY <yes|no>

This option must be set to yes to identify this configuration type as dummy, regardless of the configuration file name.

BOOTPROTO

may be set to “none” or “static”. Note that “dhcp” and others are not supported. See also man ifcfg and man routes for details.

EXAMPLE¶

Example ifcfg-<name> config file for a dummy interface:

DUMMY=yes
STARTMODE=auto
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=10.0.0.100/24
