The ifcfg-ethXX file already exists as a means for the network service to derive information about a node. The XX represents the eth number of the VNIC. To configure VNICs, additional parameters are added to the base file format. For Red Hat Linux, the ifcfg-ethXX file has the following format:
DEVICE=name HWADDR=mac BOOTPROTO=dhcp ONBOOT=yes BXADDR=string BXEPORT=connector VNICVLAN=vlan_id VNICIBPORT=device:port
where:
name is the VNIC device name or eth number.
Note - The DEVICE parameter is optional. If the parameter is missing, the suffix of the configuration file name (ethXX) is used.
mac is the MAC assigned to the VNIC.
string is either the HCA port GUID or the system name.
connector is the gateway connector assigned to the VNIC (0A-ETH-1 to 0A-ETH-4 and 1A-ETH-1 to 1A-ETH-4).
vlan_id is the VLAN identifier to assign to the VNIC. The value is 0–4095.
Note - The VNICVLAN parameter is optional.
device is the device name retrieved from the hca_id field in the output of the ibv_devinfo command.
port is the port number, either 1 or 2.
Note - Additional parameters used for regular eth interfaces can be appended to the ifcfg-ethXX file.
