RE:Subject: IPless interface on Debian...

[Holger.Woehle () arcor net]

Hello Snort-Users,

I hope this isn't redundant, but the archives seem to be down right now.

I have two NIC's, eth1 is for my management network, and eth0 is for
sniffin'. I want eth0 *not* to have a IP address. This worked fine in
RedHat, but since they eol'ed it I'm migrating to Debian, and I'm a
little green. How is this done in Debian?
Many Thanks,
Tobias

Tobias,
just try the following in /etc/network/interfaces:

user@sensor:~$ less /etc/network/nterfaces
#/etc/networl/interfaces  -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)

# The loopback interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth1

iface eth1 inet static
     address 192.168.1.5
     netmask 255.255.255.0
     broadcast 192.198.1.255
     gateway 192.168.1.2

auto eth0 inet static
     address 0.0.0.0
     netmask 255.255.255.255

#  end /etc/network/interfaces

hope that explains enough...

cu
holgi
