guessnet problem
I have my /etc/network/interfaces as below.
=========================
auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback
mapping eth0
# Too bad there's no way to pass commandline options to script
# script /usr/sbin/guessnet -i
script /usr/sbin/guessnet-ifupdown
# List of stanzas guessnet should scan for
# If none is specified, scans for all stanzas
map home work disconnected none
map default: home
map timeout: 3
map verbose: true
# Home network configuration
iface home inet static
address 192.168.0.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.1
#dns-search home.loc
#dns-nameservers 192.168.1.1
# Check for one of these hosts:
test1 peer address 192.168.0.1 #mac 00:26:54:0E:8E:C0
up echo "smarthost: main.home-`date`" > /etc/roaming/home_connection
up rm -f /etc/roaming/not_online
down rm -f /etc/roaming/home_connection
#test2-peer address 192.168.1.3 mac 00:01:02:03:04:06
# Work network configuration
iface work inet static
address 150.1.35.141
netmask 255.255.0.0
# test3 peer address 150.1.35.2 mac 00:50:8B:71:7E:D6 source 150.1.35.141
test command $(arping -f 150.1.35.2)
up echo "smarthost: main.work-`date`" > /etc/roaming/work_connection
up rm -f /etc/roaming/not_online
down rm -f /etc/roaming/work_connection
# I'd really appreciate a 'disabled' method for iface that just
# keeps the interface down)
iface disconnected inet static
address 192.168.0.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
up echo "missing-cable" > /etc/roaming/not_online
test2 missing-cable
down rm -f /etc/roaming/not_online
# It could also be:
#test-missing-cable please
# If nothing else is found, try DHCP
iface none inet dhcp
======================================
I can do
arping -f 150.1.35.2
ARPING 150.1.35.2 from 192.168.0.2 eth0
Unicast reply from 150.1.35.2 [00:50:8B:71:7E:D6] 1.260ms
Sent 1 probes (1 broadcast(s))
Received 1 response(s)
but with rebooting or doing /etc/init.d/networking restart
I don't get the static IP address of 150.1.35.141 as in work stanza.
I tried with both command and also peer test.
Any idea to get the desired result will be appreciated.
