How to fill in the network line in the ubuntu interfaces config file?
- by matnagel
I have to configure an ubuntu hardy server network interface.
The service hoster told me that this is the network data for the machine:
IP Range: 111.111.200.74 to 111.111.200.78
Netmask: 255.255.255.248
Broadcast: 111.111.200.79
Gateway: 111.111.200.73
Subnet: 111.111.200.72/29
I am only using the first IP address. I will update the /etc/hosts file with 111.111.200.74, but I am still unsure how the /etc/network/interfaces file should be. This is my plan:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 111.111.200.74
netmask 255.255.255.248
network 111.111.200.???
broadcast 111.111.200.79
gateway 111.111.200.73
As you can see I don't know how to build the network line. How would I calculate the data for the network line and what is the result?
(I changed the first 2 octets of the subnet, they are not "111.111" in the real setup.)
