Fedora21 Cloud Base refuses to enable eth1 on Virtualbox

  • 772

Fedora21 Cloud comes in 2 flavors. Base and Atomic. I'm trying to install the BASE version using VirtualBox. The Atomic version will enable dhcp on eth1 if it's enabled, however, BASE refuses to enable eth1. I installed nmcli and tried any number of options and I have not been able to get things going correctly. I'm thinking that if nmcli is not the way to go then there must be something in cloud-init which would be a preferred method.

How do I activate DHCP on eth1?

  1. Fedora, like most RHEL derivatives, stores network configuration in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts. If you want eth1 to pull an address with dhcp, create /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 with the following content:

    DEVICE=eth1
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=dhcp

    And then run ifup eth1. You can perform these changes as part of a user-data script if you are using cloud-init.
