IFCFG-DUMMY(5)

📦 version 0.6.80, in opensuse-leap 16.0

okay bestie, welcome to IFCFG-DUMMY(5) from the Wicked User Manual — this is the dummy interface config page and it's lowkey iconic ✨

💖 NAME 💖

ifcfg-dummy — Dummy interface configuration, periodt. that's the whole name section, no cap 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the synopsis is literally just this path, iykyk:

/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-*

🦋 Dummy Interfaces 🦋

okay so to set up a dummy interface you either need a configuration file with the DUMMY=yes variable set, or one using a config file name ifcfg-dummyX (e.g. ifcfg-dummy0). both routes are valid, bestie 💅

  • DUMMY <yes|no> — this option must be set to yes to identify this configuration type as dummy, regardless of the configuration file name. like, it's the main character flag fr fr 👑
  • BOOTPROTO — may be set to none or static. note that dhcp and others are not supported. see also man ifcfg and man routes for details. no dhcp here, it's just not invited 💀

🌸 EXAMPLE 🌸

example ifcfg-<name> config file for a dummy interface:

DUMMY=yes
STARTMODE=auto
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=10.0.0.100/24
