The file /etc/network/interfaces available in Debian and its derived distributions allows to define static and dynamic IP addresses for the interfaces, setup routing information and default gateways, masquerading network bonding and more.

The default interfaces file looks like the following:

Datei:Bild12.pngWhere auto starts the interface at boot and iface calls the network interface (in this case lo, loopback). All lines beginning with  “auto” specify the interfaces which will be enabled when running “ifup -a”, a command executed at boot.

Lines beginning with “iface” have the following syntax

iface  <interface>  <address_family>  <method>

For example

iface enp2s0 inet dhcp

The following example shows how to setup a network card using DHCP:

Setting up an interface with DHCP by editing the /etc/network/interfaces

To add a new interface using DHCP, add the following lines:

auto <Interface>allow-hotplug <Interface>iface <Interface> inet dhcp

Datei:Bild13.pngWhere allow-hotplug will start the interface upon event detection.

Note

for IPv6 add “inet6”: iface <interface> inet6 dhcp

Where <interface> you should set your device name, eth0, enp2s0, wlp3s0, etc.

Setting up an interface with static address by editing the /etc/network/interfaces

If instead of configuring the interface with DHCP you want to set a static IP address and gateway replace the previous instructions with the following (replace 192.168.0.8/24 and 192.168.0.1 with your correct IP addresses):auto <Interface>iface <Interface> inet staticaddress 192.168.0.1netmask 255.255.255.0gateway 192.168.0.1dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8

Datei:Bild14.pngDefining gateway and broadcast is optional.The following example shows a different configuration which runs after the network interface is enabled (up) or disabled (down). The “up” lines are executed when the device is enabled while the “down” lines when it is disabled:

auto eth0iface eth0 inet staticaddress 192.168.0.5network 192.168.0.0netmask 255.255.255.128broadcast 192.168.0.0up route add -net 192.168.0.128 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.0.1up route add default gw 192.168.0.200down route del default gw 192.168.0.200down route del -net 192.168.0.128 netmask 255.255.255.128 gw 192.168.0.1

Setting up a network card with 2 interfaces

The following example below shows a static configuration for a network card with two interfaces:

auto eth0 eth0:1iface eth0 inet staticaddress 192.168.0.5network 192.168.0.0netmask 255.255.255.0broadcast 192.168.0.255gateway 192.168.0.1iface eth0:1 inet staticaddress 192.168.0.10network 192.168.0.0netmask 255.255.255.0

Datei:Bild16.pngAs you can see in this way you can assign multiple IP addresses to a single network interface.

Bonding

Logging

• Enable logging for the file /etc/network/interfaces
• There are 3 options related to the logging:

VERBOSE

instructs log files to have detailed information.DEBUG: enable debugging when logging.SYSLOG: save logs within /var/log/syslog.

Datei:Bild20.pngPre-up commands for /etc/network/interfaces: Pre-up commands are executed before enabling the network device. If the pre-up command fails the network card activation wont take place.

Post-up instructions for /etc/network/interfaces

Post-up instructions are executed after the network interface is enabled.

Pre-down instructions for /etc/network/interfaces

Pre-down instructions are executed before disabling the network device.Post-down instructions for /etc/network/interfaces: Post-down instructions are executed after the network interface is disabled.

Pre-up, pre-down, post-up and post-down flags are conditional, if they ail the network device won’t get enabled or won’t be properly marked as disabled.

For example, the instruction:

pre-up /usr/local/sbin/iptables

Will run the firewall before the network interface gets enabled, if iptables fails to start the network interface wont turn on.
