hmmm, but what should I use for the source ip, I only assign those when I bring the interface up when I start the interface -- I have something like this: [Unit] Description=Network Connectivity for %i Documentation=man:ip Before=network.target Wants=network.target BindsTo=sys-subsystem-net-devices-%i.device After=sys-subsystem-net-devices-%i.device [Service] Type=oneshot RemainAfterExit=yes EnvironmentFile=/etc/conf.d/network@%i ExecStart=/bin/ip link set dev %i up ExecStart=/bin/ip addr add ${address}/${netmask} broadcast ${broadcast} dev %i ExecStart=-/bin/bash -c "test -n ${gateway} && /bin/ip route add default via ${gateway}" ExecStart=-/bin/bash -c "test -f /etc/conf.d/postup@%i.sh&&/bin/bash -c /etc/conf.d/postup@%i.sh" ExecStop=/bin/ip addr flush dev %i ExecStop=/bin/ip link set dev %i down ExecStop=-/bin/bash -c "test -f /etc/conf.d/postdown@%i.sh&&/bin/bash -c /etc/conf.d/postdown@%i.sh" [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target and the /etc/conf.d/network@eno1 is address=192.168.0.1 netmask=24 broadcast=192.168.0.255 So, before I run this, I don't think the card has any ip address, does it? -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it? John Covici wb2una cov...@ccs.covici.com
