The networkifs_base_config variable provides a way to configure additional network interfaces, in addition to the first network interface configured through the sysidcfg_network_interface_basevariable.
For each additional interface device, you provide a group of four variables that define the netname, netmask, hostname, and IP address for the interface.
The example below shows how to define the networkifs_base_config variable for two interfaces:
le1
netname — netB
netmask — 255.255.255.0
hostname — myhost-netB
interface IP — 192.168.1.0
hme0
netname — netC
netmask — 255.255.255.0
hostname — myhost-netC
interface IP — 192.162.2.0
You would use the following syntax to define the single networkifs_base_config variable for the two additional interfaces:
le1!netB 255.255.255.0 myhost-netB 192.168.1.0|hme0!netC 255.255.255.0 myhost-netC 192.168.2.0
