[NTLUG:Discuss] Multiple Ethernet Config Question

[Chris Cox]

In general to move around.... procedure is similar to the following
(assumes one ethernet interface eth0).  IP in this case is 192.168.1.20,
netmask is a full class-C (/24) net.  The gateway to other nets
by default in this case is 192.168.1.1.  DNS is whatever you were
told to use on the particular net.  These procedures assume
a pretty "normal" situation... you'll have to check with your
network administrator for additional route info and netmask, etc.

You could make this into a script and name your resolv.conf's
to be identifiable by the net you want to attach to and just
copy them into place.


ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.20 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default gw 192.168.1.1
vi /etc/resolv.conf # switch to your new nameserver
