Configuration

Here is how to setup the network interface on the ALIX board:

  • login as root
  • remountrw
  • cd /etc/network/
  • vi interfaces
  • just copy what is already there for eth0 and change the IPs.
  • /etc/init.d/networking restart (this will restart the networking
    services)
  • ifconfig (to check if everything is OK).

That should be it.

Keep in mind that eth0 is the plug on the right (there is sticker too), while eth1 is the one on the left.

After reboot, it takes some time before you are able to ssh. Don't panic (I did).

When you setup eth1, you should disable eth0. In this way it answers to ssh much faster. And at then end, they don't use both eth ports. On the other side, it's a good idea to have both for local troubleshooting
