[lug] DHCP and a static IP

[Bonnell, Doug]

Shouldn't be difficult. Look at the script "ifup" in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts.

Look for the section that executes on "DYNCONFIG". If
pump fails, the script normally exits. You'd want the 
script to execute something similar to the else
section after the "DYNCONFIG" section.

Hope this helps,

Doug

Subject: [lug] DHCP and a static IP


I am running RedHat 7.1 and would like to have my system attempt to get
an IP address using DHCP first and then use a fixed IP address if the DHCP
server does not respond. I use the system, a laptop, at different sites. One
site
requires a fixed IP and the others require DHCP.

Is there a way to configure RedHat 7.1 to do this?
