###################################################################### # /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8) # # A "#" character in the very first column makes the rest of the line # be ignored. Blank lines are ignored. Lines may be indented freely. # A "\" character at the very end of the line indicates the next line # should be treated as a continuation of the current one. # # The "pre-up", "up", "down" and "post-down" options are valid for all # interfaces, and may be specified multiple times. All other options # may only be specified once. # # See the interfaces(5) manpage for information on what options are # available. ###################################################################### # The loopback interface isn't really required any longer, # but can be used if needed. # # auto lo # iface lo inet loopback # An example ethernet card setup: (broadcast and gateway are optional) # # auto eth0 # iface eth0 inet static # address 192.168.0.42/24 # gateway 192.168.0.1 # An example IPv6 setup: # # auto eth0 # iface eth0 inet6 static # address fec0::42/64 # gateway fec0::1 # Multiple addresses can be added by simply using multiple iface stanzas. # This also allows you to add both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to the same # interface: # # auto eth0 # iface eth0 inet static # address 192.168.0.42/24 # gateway 192.168.0.1 # iface eth0 inet static # address 172.16.0.1/24 # iface eth0 inet6 static # address fec0::42/64 # gateway fec0::1 # For more complicated configurations, for example adding more routes, # you can use the "up" and "down" lines to have commands executed when the # interface is brought up resp. down: # # auto eth0 # iface eth0 inet static # address 192.168.1.42/25 # up ip route add 192.168.1.128/25 via 192.168.1.2 onlink dev $IFACE # down ip route del 192.168.1.128/25 via 192.168.1.2 onlink dev $IFACE # "pre-up" and "post-down" commands are also available.
