Options
interface
The name of the interface. This is usually a driver name followed by a unit number (for example, eth0
for the first Ethernet interface).
address
The IP address to be assigned to this interface.
up
This flag causes the interface to be activated. It is implicitly specified if an address is assigned to the
interface.
down
This flag causes the driver for this interface to be shut down.
[-]arp
Enable or disable the use of the ARP protocol on this interface.
[-]promisc
Enable or disable the promiscuous mode of the interface. If selected, all packets on the network will be
received by the interface.
[-]allmulti
Enable or disable the all-multicast mode. If selected, all-multicast packets on the network will be
received by the interface.
metric N
This parameter sets the interface metric.
mtu N
This parameter sets the Maximum Transfer Unit (MTU) of an interface.
dstaddr addr
Set the remote IP address for a point-to-point link (such as PPP). This keyword is now obsolete; use
the pointopoint keyword instead.
netmask addr
Set the IP network mask for this interface. This value defaults to the usual class A, B, or C network
mask (as derived from the interface IP address), but it can be set to any value.
irq addr
Set the interrupt line used by this device. Not all devices can dynamically change their IRQ setting.
io_addr addr
Set the start address in the I/O space for this device.
mem_start addr
Set the start address for shared memory used by this device. Only a few devices need this option.
[-]broadcast [addr]
If the address argument is given, set the protocol broadcast address for this interface. Otherwise, set
(or clear) the IFF_BROADCAST flag for the interface.
