Now you need to create the configuration file for your new interface. The network interface<br />

configuration files are placed in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/.<br />

The network configuration files use the naming convention ifcfg-device, where device is the<br />

value found in the if_name file in the qeth group device that was created earlier. In this example<br />

it is eth1.<br />

If there is an existing configuration file for another device of the same type already defined, the<br />

simplest solution is to copy it to the new name.<br />

# cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts<br />

# cp ifcfg-eth0 ifcfg-eth1<br />

If you do not have a similar device defined you must create one. Use this example of<br />

ifcfg-eth0 as a template.<br />

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0<br />

# IBM QETH<br />

DEVICE=eth0<br />

BOOTPROTO=static<br />

HWADDR=00:06:29:FB:5F:F1<br />
