| 3 | /etc/network/interfaces - network interface configuration for ifup and | ||
| 4 | ifdown | ||
| 5 | |||
| 6 | !!DESCRIPTION | ||
| 7 | |||
| 5 | RolfSchumacher | 8 | /etc/network/interfaces contains network interface configuration information for the ifup(8) and ifdown(8) commands. This is where you configure how your system is connected to the network. |
| 2 | RolfSchumacher | 9 | |
| 10 | Lines starting with `#' are ignored. A line may be extended across | ||
| 11 | multiple lines by making the last character a backslash. | ||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | The file consists of zero or more "iface", "mapping" and "auto" stanzas. Here is an example. | ||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | auto lo eth0 | ||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | iface lo inet loopback | ||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | mapping eth0 | ||
| 20 | script /usr/local/sbin/map-scheme | ||
| 21 | map HOME eth0-home | ||
| 22 | map WORK eth0-work | ||
| 23 | |||
| 24 | iface eth0-home inet static | ||
| 25 | address 192.168.1.1 | ||
| 26 | netmask 255.255.255.0 | ||
| 27 | up flush-mail | ||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | iface eth0-work inet dhcp | ||
| 30 | |||
| 31 | Stanzas beginning with the word "auto" are used to identify the physical interfaces to be brought up when __ifup__ is run with the __-a__ option. | ||
| 32 | (This option is used by the system boot scripts.) Physical interface | ||
| 33 | names should follow the word "auto" on the same line. There can be | ||
| 34 | multiple "auto" stanzas. __ifup__ brings the named interfaces up in the | ||
| 35 | order listed. | ||
| 36 | |||
| 37 | Stanzas beginning with the word "mapping" are used to determine how a | ||
| 38 | logical interface name is chosen for a physical interface that is to be | ||
| 39 | brought up. The first line of a mapping stanza consists of the word | ||
| 40 | "mapping" followed by a pattern in shell glob syntax. Each mapping | ||
| 41 | stanza must contain a __script__ definition. The named script is run with | ||
| 42 | the physical interface name as its argument and with the contents of | ||
| 43 | all following "map" lines in the stanza provided to it on its standard | ||
| 44 | input. The script must print a string on its standard output before | ||
| 45 | exiting. | ||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | Mapping a name consists of searching the mapping patterns and running | ||
| 48 | the script corresponding to the first match; the script outputs the | ||
| 49 | name to which the original is mapped. | ||
| 50 | |||
| 51 | __ifup__ is normally given a physical interface name as its first | ||
| 52 | non-option argument. __ifup__ begins by choosing this as the logical name | ||
| 53 | for the interface. It then maps this name repeatedly until either some | ||
| 54 | mapping results in a logical interface name that has been defined, in | ||
| 55 | which case __ifup__ attempts to bring up the physical interface as that | ||
| 56 | logical interface, or the name matches no pattern, in which case __ifup__ | ||
| 57 | exits with an error. | ||
| 58 | |||
| 59 | Stanzas defining logical interfaces start with a line consisting of the | ||
| 60 | word "iface" followed by the name of the logical interface. In simple | ||
| 61 | configurations without mapping stanzas this name should simply be the | ||
| 62 | name of the physical interface to which it is to be applied. (The | ||
| 63 | default mapping script is, in effect, the __echo__ command.) The interface | ||
| 64 | name is followed by the name of the address family that the interface | ||
| 65 | uses. This will be "inet" for TCP/IP networking, but there is also | ||
| 66 | some support for IPX networking ("ipx"), and IPv6 networking ("inet6"). | ||
| 67 | Following that is the name of the method used to configure the interface. | ||
| 68 | |||
| 69 | Additional options can be given on subsequent lines in the stanza. | ||
| 70 | Which options are available depends on the family and method, as | ||
| 71 | described below. Additional options can be made available by other | ||
| 72 | Debian packages. For example, the wireless-tools package makes available a number of options prefixed with "wireless-" which can be used to | ||
| 5 | RolfSchumacher | 73 | configure the interface using iwconfig(8)__.__ |
| 2 | RolfSchumacher | 74 | |
| 75 | Options are usually indented for clarity (as in the example above) but | ||
| 76 | are not required to be. | ||
| 77 | |||
| 78 | !!IFACE OPTIONS | ||
| 79 | |||
| 80 | The following "command" options are available for every family and | ||
| 81 | method. Each of these options can be given multiple times in a single | ||
| 82 | stanza, in which case the commands are executed in the order in which | ||
| 83 | they appear in the stanza. If one of the commands fails, none of the | ||
| 84 | others will be executed but the interface will still be configured. | ||
| 85 | (You can ensure a command never fails by suffixing "|| true".) | ||
| 86 | |||
| 87 | __up command__ | ||
| 88 | Run__ command__ after bringing the interface up. | ||
| 89 | |||
| 90 | __pre-up command__ | ||
| 91 | Run__ command__ before bringing the interface up. | ||
| 92 | |||
| 93 | __down command__ | ||
| 94 | Run__ command__ before taking the interface down. | ||
| 95 | |||
| 96 | __post-down command__ | ||
| 97 | Run__ command__ after taking the interface down. | ||
| 98 | |||
| 99 | There exists for each of the above mentioned options a directory | ||
| 5 | RolfSchumacher | 100 | __ /etc/network/if__-__<option>_____ the scripts in which are run (with no arguments) using run-parts(8) after the option itself has been processed. |
| 2 | RolfSchumacher | 101 | |
| 102 | All of these commands have access to the following environment variables. | ||
| 103 | |||
| 104 | __IFACE__ physical name of the interface being processed | ||
| 105 | |||
| 106 | __ADDRFAM__ | ||
| 107 | address family of the interface | ||
| 108 | |||
| 109 | __METHOD__ method of the interface (e.g., "static") | ||
| 110 | |||
| 111 | __MODE__ either__ start__ or__ stop__, depending on whether the script is called | ||
| 112 | by __ifup__ or __ifdown__. | ||
| 113 | |||
| 114 | __PATH__ the command search path: __ /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:__ __ /usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin__ | ||
| 115 | |||
| 116 | Additionally, all options given in an interface definition stanza are | ||
| 117 | exported to the environment in upper case with "IF_" prepended and with | ||
| 118 | hyphens converted to underscores and non-alphanumeric characters discarded. | ||
| 119 | |||

| 391 | There are currently three standard options available for all | ||
| 392 | interfaces, regardless of address family or method. These | ||
| 393 | are: | ||
| 394 | |||
| 395 | |||
| 396 | __up__ ''command'' | ||
| 397 | |||
| 398 | |||
| 399 | Run ''command'' after bringing the interface up. This | ||
| 400 | option can be given multiple times for a single interface. | ||
| 401 | If so, the commands will be executed in order. If one of the | ||
| 402 | commands fails, none of the others will be executed, but the | ||
| 403 | interface will remain configured. (You can ensure a command | ||
| 404 | never fails by suffixing '' | ||
| 405 | |||
| 406 | |||
| 407 | __pre-up__ ''command'' | ||
| 408 | |||
| 409 | |||
| 410 | Run ''command'' before bringing the interface up. This | ||
| 411 | option can be given multiple times for a single interface. | ||
| 412 | If so, the commands will be executed in order. If one of the | ||

| 420 | |||
| 421 | Run ''command'' before taking the interface down. This | ||
| 422 | option can be given multiple times for a single interface. | ||
| 423 | If so, the commands will be executed in order. If one of the | ||
