-   <para>This section only applies if a network card is to be
 
-   configured.</para>
 
-   <para>If a network card will not be used, there is likely no need to create
 
-   any configuration files relating to network cards. If that is the case, you
 
-   will need to remove the <filename class="symlink">network</filename> symlinks
 
-   from all run-level directories (<filename
 
-   class="directory">/etc/rc.d/rc*.d</filename>) after the bootscripts are
 
-   installed in <xref linkend="ch-scripts-bootscripts"/>.</para>
 
-   <sect2 id='stable-net-names'>
 
-     <title>Creating stable names for network interfaces</title>
 
-     <para>If there is only one network interface in the system to be
 
-     configured, this section is optional, although it will never be wrong to do
 
-     it.  In many cases (e.g. a laptop with a wireless and a wired interface),
 
-     accomplishing the configuration in this section is necessary.</para>
 
-     <para>With Udev and modular network drivers, the network interface numbering
 
-     is not persistent across reboots by default, because the drivers are loaded
 
-     in parallel and, thus, in random order. For example, on a computer having
 
-     two network cards made by Intel and Realtek, the network card manufactured
 
-     by Intel may become <filename class="devicefile">eth0</filename> and the
 
-     Realtek card becomes  <filename class="devicefile">eth1</filename>. In some
 
-     cases, after a reboot the cards get renumbered the other way around. To
 
-     avoid this, Udev comes with a script and some rules to assign stable names
 
-     to network cards based on their MAC address.</para>
 
-     <para>The rules were pre-generated in the build instructions for
 
-     <application>udev (systemd)</application> in the last chapter.  Inspect the
 
-     <filename>/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules</filename> file, to
 
-     find out which name was assigned to which network device:</para>
 
- <screen role="nodump"><userinput>cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules</userinput></screen>
 
-     <note><para>In some cases such as when MAC addresess have been assigned to
 
-     a network card manually or in a virtual environment such as Xen,
 
-     the network rules file may not have been generated because addresses
 
-     are not consistently assigned.  In these cases, just continue to
 
-     the next section.</para></note>
 
-     <para>The file begins with a comment block followed by two lines for each
 
-     NIC. The first line for each NIC is a commented description showing its
 
-     hardware IDs (e.g. its PCI vendor and device IDs, if it's a PCI card),
 
-     along with its driver in parentheses, if the driver can be found. Neither
 
-     the hardware ID nor the driver is used to determine which name to give an
 
-     interface; this information is only for reference. The second line is the
 
-     Udev rule that matches this NIC and actually assigns it a name.</para>
 
-     <para>All Udev rules are made up of several keys, separated by commas and
 
-     optional whitespace. This rule's keys and an explanation of each of them
 
-     are as follows:</para>
 
-     <itemizedlist>
 
-       <listitem>
 
-         <para><literal>SUBSYSTEM=="net"</literal> - This tells Udev to ignore
 
-         devices that are not network cards.</para>
 
-       </listitem>
 
-       <listitem>
 
-         <para><literal>ACTION=="add"</literal> - This tells Udev to ignore this
 
-         rule for a uevent that isn't an add ("remove" and "change" uevents also
 
-         happen, but don't need to rename network interfaces).</para>
 
-       </listitem>
 
-       <listitem>
 
-         <para><literal>DRIVERS=="?*"</literal> - This exists so that Udev will
 
-         ignore VLAN or bridge sub-interfaces (because these sub-interfaces do
 
-         not have drivers). These sub-interfaces are skipped because the name
 
-         that would be assigned would collide with their parent devices.</para>
 
-       </listitem>
 
-       <listitem>
 
-         <para><literal>ATTR{address}</literal> - The value of this key is the
 
-         NIC's MAC address.</para>
 
-       </listitem>
 
-       <listitem>
 
-         <para><literal>ATTR{type}=="1"</literal> - This ensures the rule only
 
-         matches the primary interface in the case of certain wireless drivers,
 
-         which create multiple virtual interfaces. The secondary interfaces are
 
-         skipped for the same reason that VLAN and bridge sub-interfaces are
 
-         skipped: there would be a name collision otherwise.</para>
 
-       </listitem>
 
-       <listitem>
 
-         <para><literal>KERNEL=="eth*"</literal> - This key was added to the
 
-         Udev rule generator to handle machines that have multiple network
 
-         interfaces, all with the same MAC address (the PS3 is one such
 
-         machine).  If the independent interfaces have different basenames,
 
-         this key will allow Udev to tell them apart.  This is generally not
 
-         necessary for most Linux From Scratch users, but does not hurt.</para>
 
-       </listitem>
 
-       <listitem>
 
-         <para><literal>NAME</literal> - The value of this key is the name that
 
-         Udev will assign to this interface.</para>
 
-       </listitem>
 
-     </itemizedlist>
 
-     <para>The value of <literal>NAME</literal> is the important part. Make sure
 
-     you know which name has been assigned to each of your network cards before
 
-     proceeding, and be sure to use that <literal>NAME</literal> value when
 
-     creating your configuration files below.</para>

-   <sect2>
 
-     <title>Creating Network Interface Configuration Files</title>
 
-     <para>Which interfaces are brought up and down by the network script
 
-     depends on the files in <filename
 
-     class="directory">/etc/sysconfig/</filename>.  This directory should
 
-     contain a file for each interface to be configured, such as
 
-     <filename>ifconfig.xyz</filename>, where <quote>xyz</quote> is
 
-     meaningful to the administrator such as the device name (e.g. eth0).
 
-     Inside this file are attributes to this interface, such as its IP
 
-     address(es), subnet masks, and so forth.  It is necessary that
 
-     the stem of the filename be <emphasis>ifconfig</emphasis>.</para>
 
-     <para>The following command creates a sample file for the
 
-     <emphasis>eth0</emphasis> device with a static IP address:</para>
 
- <screen><userinput>cd /etc/sysconfig/
 
- cat > ifconfig.eth0 << "EOF"
 
- <literal>ONBOOT=yes
 
- IFACE=eth0
 
- SERVICE=ipv4-static
 
- IP=192.168.1.1
 
- GATEWAY=192.168.1.2
 
- PREFIX=24
 
- BROADCAST=192.168.1.255</literal>
 
- EOF</userinput></screen>
 
-     <para>The values of these variables must be changed in every file to match
 
-     the proper setup.</para>
 
-     <para>If the <envar>ONBOOT</envar> variable is set to <quote>yes</quote> the
 
-     network script will bring up the Network Interface Card (NIC) during
 
-     booting of the system. If set to anything but <quote>yes</quote> the NIC
 
-     will be ignored by the network script and not be automatically brought up.
 
-     The interface can be manually started or stopped with the
 
-     <command>ifup</command> and <command>ifdown</command> commands.</para>
 
-     <para>The <envar>IFACE</envar> variable defines the interface name,
 
-     for example, eth0.  It is required for all network device configuration
 
-     files. </para>
 
-     <para>The <envar>SERVICE</envar> variable defines the method used for
 
-     obtaining the IP address. The LFS-Bootscripts package has a modular IP
 
-     assignment format, and creating additional files in the <filename
 
-     class="directory">/lib/services/</filename> directory allows other IP
 
-     assignment methods. This is commonly used for Dynamic Host Configuration
 
-     Protocol (DHCP), which is addressed in the BLFS book.</para>
 
-     <para>The <envar>GATEWAY</envar> variable should contain the default
 
-     gateway IP address, if one is present. If not, then comment out the
 
-     variable entirely.</para>
 
-     <para>The <envar>PREFIX</envar> variable contains the number of
 
-     bits used in the subnet. Each octet in an IP address is 8 bits. If the
 
-     subnet's netmask is 255.255.255.0, then it is using the first three octets
 
-     (24 bits) to specify the network number. If the netmask is 255.255.255.240,
 
-     it would be using the first 28 bits.  Prefixes longer than 24 bits are
 
-     commonly used by DSL and cable-based Internet Service Providers (ISPs).
 
-     In this example (PREFIX=24), the netmask is 255.255.255.0. Adjust the
 
-     <envar>PREFIX</envar> variable according to your specific subnet.i
 
-     If omitted, the PREFIX defaults to 24.</para>

-     <para>If the system is going to be connected to the Internet, it will
 
-     need some means of Domain Name Service (DNS) name resolution to
 
-     resolve Internet domain names to IP addresses, and vice versa. This is
 
-     best achieved by placing the IP address of the DNS server, available
 
-     from the ISP or network administrator, into
 
-     <filename>/etc/resolv.conf</filename>. Create the file by running the
 
-     following:</para>
 
- <screen><userinput>cat > /etc/resolv.conf << "EOF"
 
- <literal># Begin /etc/resolv.conf
 
- domain <replaceable><Your Domain Name></replaceable>
 
- nameserver <replaceable><IP address of your primary nameserver></replaceable>
 
- nameserver <replaceable><IP address of your secondary nameserver></replaceable>
 
- # End /etc/resolv.conf</literal>
 
- EOF</userinput></screen>
 
-     <para>The <varname>domain</varname> statement can be omitted
 
-     or replaced with a <varname>search</varname> statement.  See the man page for
 
-     resolv.conf for more details.</para>
 
-     <para>Replace <replaceable><IP address of the nameserver></replaceable>
 
-     with the IP address of the DNS most appropriate for the setup. There will
 
-     often be more than one entry (requirements demand secondary servers for
 
-     fallback capability). If you only need or want one DNS server, remove the
 
-     second <emphasis>nameserver</emphasis> line from the file. The IP address
 
-     may also be a router on the local network.</para>
