|
|
I have a linode running cPanel software. I have 2 IP's on the server and I have the default gateway setup to use eth0
However, the server keeps defaulting back to eth0:1 which is not what my cpanel is licensed to. For a while it would flip in and out between which IP it was responding to, but now if I check what its going out as using lynx and an ip address site, it shows up as teh secondary.
Does anyone have a work around for this? |

It sounds like you haven't configured static networking. Have you used this guide?

ok I did eth0 and eth0:1
maybe the system is skipping over to eth0:1 instead of eth0:0? |

| meaning because i didn't create eth0:0 it's defaulting to eth0:1 for some reason. |

ok i believe I got it - just hoping the DHCP of linode network doesn't blip it back...
Code: root@server1 [~]# route -n
0.0.0.0 69.164.221.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
0.0.0.0 97.107.141.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
that was showing 2 default gateway routes.
Code: root@server1 [~]# route del default gw 69.164.221.1 eth0
removed that secondary route that I didn't want. No need to network restart, server started coming up as the IP I wanted. |

DHCP only gives your linode it's networking info if you've got it setup to use DHCP. If you have static networking configured, then DHCP has nothing to do with you. |
