I had a client working fine enough with DHCP, but I really want to be able to
\nconsistently ssh into it.<\/p>\n
I looked at:<\/p>\n
\/Library\/Preferences\/VMware Fusion\/vmnet8\/dhcpd.conf\r\n<\/pre>\nand determined that I did not have to modify it to get a static address:<\/p>\n
allow unknown-clients;\r\ndefault-lease-time 1800; # default is 30 minutes\r\nmax-lease-time 7200; # default is 2 hours\r\n\r\nsubnet 172.16.249.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {\r\n range 172.16.249.128 172.16.249.254;\r\n option broadcast-address 172.16.249.255;\r\n option domain-name-servers 172.16.249.2;\r\n option domain-name localdomain;\r\n default-lease-time 1800; # default is 30 minutes\r\n max-lease-time 7200; # default is 2 hours\r\n option netbios-name-servers 172.16.249.2;\r\n option routers 172.16.249.2;\r\n}\r\nhost vmnet8 {\r\n hardware ethernet 00:50:56:C0:00:08;\r\n fixed-address 172.16.249.1;\r\n option domain-name-servers 0.0.0.0;\r\n option domain-name \"\";\r\n option routers 0.0.0.0;\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\nI.e., I could use addresses 172.16.249.2 -> 172.16.249.127 for static assignment. (There is a bug in that statement, which is why I am writing this down.)<\/p>\n
I always skip the first 20 addresses, so I assigned:<\/p>\n
KinSlayer:flexfiles loghyr$ more \/private\/etc\/hosts\r\n##\r\n# Host Database\r\n#\r\n# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface\r\n# when the system is booting.

I modified skull’s \/etc\/sysconfig\/network:<\/p>\n
[root@skull linux]# more \/etc\/sysconfig\/network\r\n# Created by anaconda\r\nHOSTNAME=skull\r\n<\/pre>\nand \/etc\/sysconfig\/network-scripts\/ifcfg-eno16777736<\/p>\n

service NetworkManager stop\r\nchkconfig NetworkManager off\r\nyum erase NetworkManager\r\nservice network start\r\nchkconfig network on\r\n<\/pre>\nI tested that I could ssh into and out of skull to my laptop. Fine, job done.<\/p>\n
Only DNS wasn’t working the next day:<\/p>\n
[root@skull linux]# more \/etc\/resolv.conf\r\n# Generated by NetworkManager\r\ndomain localdomain\r\nsearch localdomain\r\nnameserver 172.16.249.1\r\n<\/pre>\nI checked online, and found I should be using 172.16.249.2. Fine, job done.<\/p>\n
Well then I couldn’t get to github.com port 22 to get a project update.<\/p>\n
Push comes to shove, I should have not assumed that 172.16.249.1 is special
\nwith this NAT. It is not the laptop as far as a DNS server and gateway is concerned.<\/p>\nSo I changed this line in \/etc\/sysconfig\/network-scripts\/ifcfg-eno16777736:<\/p>\n
GATEWAY=172.16.249.2\r\n<\/pre>\nAnd restarted the network – now my DNS change was gone (why does service network restart add in the line about “# Generated by NetworkManager” to \/etc\/resolv.conf ??).<\/p>\n
Fine, fixed this line as well:<\/p>\n
DNS1=172.16.249.2\r\n<\/pre>\nAnd restarted.<\/p>\n
Now it all works, I think. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
