Add range of ips to centos networking?

  • 772

I got an extra /28 ip range for a centos based VPS. I am wondering how to add them as range in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts , instead of creating 13 ifcfg-venet0:x files.

Thank you!

    You can add a range using something like:

    File: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-venet0-range1

    IPADDR_START=192.168.1.2
    IPADDR_END=192.168.1.100
    CLONENUM_START=0

    Then run:
    ifup ifcfg-venet0-range1

    (Replace 192.168.1.X with your IP's as required)

  2. My DC likes to give us /27's made up of non-connected IPs for our VPS server. I can't seem to find a script that will help us copy and paste the IP list in and create the necessary files /edits. It's a huge problem as the "random" IPs don't fit into our inventory system either.

    I use the clonenum range scripts when we get actual ranges for the VPS masters since we're using CentOS. I did see a script once for Debian which would have worked but the syntax and formatting was so screwed up we couldn't get it to function.
