Configuring IP Networking
When configuring for IP service you must supply the name of the host machine that Linux should use for a
particular network interface. At installation time, if you indicated that lpfc should provide IP networking
service over Fibre Channel you should set up a /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lpfn<0-N> file for each
LightPulse adapter being configured.
By default, "network" is set to O and must be set to 1 prior to building the driver.
Note
Names you specify in these ifcfg-lpfn<0-N> files must have
valid IP addresses associated with them, via NIS or DNS
or whatever hostname-to-IP-address translation scheme
you employ.
Below is an example ifcfg-lpfn<0-N> file:
Note
The file, ifcfg-eth0 can also be used as an example. You
must restart the network interfaces either by rebooting the
machine or by manually typing ifdown lpfn<0-N> and ifup
<0-N> for these changes to take effect.
