I have two servers with Archlinux.
Both of them are using static IP address with netctl. Both of them are accessed only with ssh (e.g. I have no keyboard and monitor).
Problem I facing is when server boot, if the network cable is unplugged, the IP address is not set up.
I tried with ExcludeAuto=no
and with ForceConnect=yes
, but no success.
I tried with ifplugd
as well, but it does my server inaccessible so I did not test much.
I know I can probably do it with ip link
or ifconfig
directly, but I am looking for some more intelligent solution.
Configuration looks like this:
# /etc/netctl/lan1
Description='A basic static ethernet connection'
Interface=enp1s0
Connection=ethernet
IP=static
Address=('192.168.0.3/24')
Gateway='192.168.0.1'
DNS=('8.8.8.8')
can you include the configuration of the interfaces in
/etc/network/interfaces

yeah, I was still thinking of Linux. Update your question with the configuration of your interface, there might be something missing – Jimmy_A – 2017-05-30T11:11:51.823
done, updated... – Nick – 2017-05-30T12:40:00.210
The configuration seems fine. You said you tried using
ifplugd
which would be able to solve your issue. Can you try restartingnetctl
with the interface down the first time and then up if that doesn't work? Also, maybe there is another network manager installed that conflicts with the configuration – Jimmy_A – 2017-05-30T13:12:03.657
