 Posted: Fri Aug 09, 2013 5:49 Post subject: M23 server with static ip says it has a dynamic ip |
 |
|
Just read the FAQ for my first post:
Your current m23 version:
m23 version and patch level: 13.2 rock (100669)
How did you install the m23 server? (Complete installation from CD or by the installation script on the CD)
I guess I don't understand the difference between these two. I downloaded the iso, burned the cd and put it in the machine and went through the installation steps.
Did you change anything on the system by hand? If yes: what?
I didn't want LDAP or DHCP to run (subject of another post I want to write). I don't remember how I answered any questions but I'm pretty sure they are not running. I've also installed mc and webmin.
Ok, my question:
The server web interface says:
| Quote: | Critical server state
Caution!
The m23 server got a dynamical IP address. This will lead to non-installable clients. You must setup the server with a statical IP address. |
But /etc/network/interfaces has:
| Code: | #/etc/network/interfaces -- generated by m23-Setup
#The loopback interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 172.20.0.1
netmask 255.255.0.0
network 172.20.0.0
broadcast 172.20.255.255
gateway 172.20.0.77
|
It has 172.20.0.1 as its IP address and that is correct. So should I ignore the message or is there something else I should do?
Thanks! |

Hi,
this is strange. The interfaces looks correctly.
What happens, when you execute
| Code: | | sudo grep address /etc/network/interfaces | cut -d's' -f3 | cut -d' ' -f2 | head -1 |
on the m23 server?

It gets the correct address: 172.20.0.1 |

Just talked to Hauke about this. It seems you can safely ignore the error message - although we have no idea what causes this bug.
