I would like a laptop to work in two kinds of networks automatically if
possible. At home, I am running a DHCP server and if the laptop is
connected to my switch(CAT5 cable to eth0) and booted up, it looks for
and gets an IP address (it is running a dhcp client). Now when that
laptop is taken to the university, the user needs to change the
/etc/network/interfaces file to give the machine a static address. I am
looking for a way that this choice between dhcp/static happens
automatically.
I have been reading manpages of interfaces and learned we can map a
physical device as logical devices and make it work in different modes.
I am looking for examples where this is already done, the documentation
in man interfaces is, well, not very clear about all the nuts and
bolts, or so I believe. All help is appreciated.
Thanks,
->HS
