You will have to be more specific about 'all the usuals', and especially specific about what you actually did with them, we're pretty much in the dark here. Especially since you didn't tell us what your OS actually is. ifup makes me suspect it's Linux, and if so, you can try giving your system a wholly manual configuration like this:
...assuming you want it to be on 192.168.0.50 with a gateway of 192.168.0.1 and a DNS server of 192.168.0.1. If you know the IP addresses of everything DNS is optional.
Hi Expert,
I have encountered some problem with my SUN system. Everytime when i issue command #init 6 OR #init 0 it just logout and prompt for login again instead of rebooting the server when run init 6 and system shutdown when run init 0..
I can only reboot the system using reboot ... Was... (6 Replies)

Dear all,
I typed in init 1 on my redhat box as root and according to wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runlevel):
1 Single-User Mode Does not configure network interfaces, start daemons, or allow non-root logins
So now I can't connect back to it. How do I change the init back to 3?... (8 Replies)
What is the difference between 'init s' and 'init 1'.
I know that both will work to change the current run level to single user mode.
Is there any difference in those two commands? (5 Replies)
In the olden days it used to be /etc/inittab.
Then it got changed to /etc/event.d/tty* under Fedora 10.
Can someone please point out what it is now in Fedora 13? I want to run mgetty which I had configured in Fedora 10 as /etc/event.d/ppp0:
# modem - getty

Hi,
I am experiencing a weird thing on my SUNFIRE machine with Solaris 9 OS.
When I do init 0 to shutdown the machine to go to ok prompt, what it did was shutdown and reboot like an init 6 command do. I did check the corresponding rc scripts that were involved with init 0 and compared with rc... (2 Replies)

Why not just init? What do /etc/rc*.* scripts, rc*.*d and init*.*d directories and directory trees, etc (ex like svc, startsrc, and on and on) do that init and inittab do not or could not do? Is it just so novice SysAdmins need not mess with init?
Is there an overview anyplace of how start-up... (4 Replies)

vlan-interfaces
VLAN-INTERFACES(5) File formats VLAN-INTERFACES(5)NAME
/etc/network/interfaces (vlan) - vlan extensions for the interfaces(5) file format
DESCRIPTION
/etc/network/interfaces contains network interface configuration information for the ifup(8) and ifdown(8) commands. This manpage
describes the vlan extensions to the standard interfaces(5) file format.
Primary extensions exist to make and destroy vlan interfaces, secondary extensions exist for ipv4 interface manipulation which are gener-
ally needed when using (a lot of) vlans.
VLAN CREATION
Vlan interface definitions exist of the vlan interface name, and an optional 'raw-device' parameter. Vlan interfaces are numbered 1 to
4095. You have the option to have interface names zero-padded to 4 numbers, or just the plain digits without leading zero. The following
example shows four ways to create a vlan with id 1 on interface eth0. They all result in different names.
iface eth0.1 inet static
address 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
iface vlan1 inet static
vlan-raw-device eth0
address 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
iface eth0.0001 inet static
address 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
iface vlan0001 inet static
vlan-raw-device eth0
address 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
# We don't have br support out of the box
iface br0.2 inet static
vlan-raw-device br0
address 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
# Aliases are ignored
iface br0.2:1 inet static
address 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.255
EXTRA IFACE OPTIONS
Usually someone who uses vlans also wants to do some other manipulations with the ip stack or interface.
vlan-raw-device devicename
Indicates the device to create the vlan on. This is ignored when the devicename is part of the vlan interface name.
ip-proxy-arp 0|1
Turn proxy-arp off or on for this specific interface. This also works on plain ethernet like devices.
ip-rp-filter 0|1|2
Set the return path filter for this specific interface. This also works on plain ethernet like devices.
hw-mac-address mac-address
This sets the mac address of the interface before bringing it up. This works on any device that allows setting the hardware address
with the ip command.
