TomS - Fixed IP Address (netconfig)

[TomS]

I loaded the Purple and FreePBX 2.9 and I could not find the netconfig command or the option under help-pbx to download it 'install-netconfig'.

Is there a different script to set up a fixed IP address for a server once you have it loaded, etc.
or do you have to go in and edit the files?

I may have missed something on the forums as I have been off of them for a month or so.

I appreciate any guidance!
Thanks
TomS

Try using /usr/sbin/system-config-network

it is no longer in the 206x distro. We removed it because it was causing problems with certain parts of the centos 6.2 networking.

You could set it in Webmin but be sure that you also reset your default gateway and DNS servers as well.

If you're sure your NIC is on eth0, you can manually set your static IP address. Create /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 with the following entries.

DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=static
NETWORK=192.168.2.0 <-- your private LAN subnet
IPADDR=192.168.2.3 <-- the desired static IP
NETMASK=255.255.255.0 <-- your private LAN subnet mask
GATEWAY=192.168.2.1 <-- your private gateway IP

The next job is to edit /etc/resolv.conf and add nameservers. For example,

nameserver 192.168.2.1

TomS - SOLUTION FROM THE FORUM

Thanks for the quick response and answer to the problem - as always!

I did not know about the command: system-config-network
That is what I was looking for.
I have been editing the files as in the last post.

I am building 2 systems on Dell 1950 servers to replace older PiaF systems on a Dell 1850 and a Dell P4 desktop. The information is just in time.

Thanks Again,
TomS
