  • [gentoo-user] how to configure two net interfaces (one static and other

    From pat@xvalheru.org@21:1/5 to All on Fri Aug 27 17:00:02 2021
    Hello,

    Installed Gentoo into VirtualBox and I want to have two network
    interfaces (on different networks with IP ranges) one with static IP and another with IP retrieved by DHCP. Currenlty, I do have the DHCP, but
    failing to setup additional static IP. Please, could someone point me to
    what to do?

    Thanks

    Pat

    Here's where I would start: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/Networking

    The handbook is good for more than just the installation process, I've
    learned over the years.

    Also have a look at:

    https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Networking/Modular

    which explains how to configure your /etc/conf.d/net file. However, most helpful is the well commented netifrc example file itself:

    /usr/share/doc/netifrc-0.7.3/net.example.bz2

    In there you can see how to configure with a static IP or dhcp each interface in turn. Copy that to your /etc/conf.d/net and edit it as you see fit. Ask
    if you get stuck on anything specific.

    Thank you, this is what I meant to post. Moving too fast for my own
    good.
