Cyclades-TS

Appendix A - Linux

Installation & Service Manual

The DHCP client on the Ethernet Interface can be configured in two different ways, depending on the action the

Cyclades-TS should take in case the DHCP server does not answer the IP address request:

1. No action is taken and no IP address is assigned to the Ethernet Interface (most common configuration):

• Set the global parameter conf.dhcp_client to 1

• Comment all other parameters related to the Ethernet Interface (conf.eth_ip, etc.)

• Add the necessary options to the file /etc/network/dhcpcd_cmd (some options are described below)

2. The Cyclades-TS restores the last IP address previously provided in another boot and assigns this IP address

to the Ethernet Interface:

• Set the global parameter conf.dhcp_client to 2

• Comment all other parameters related to the Ethernet Interface (conf.eth_ip, etc.)

• Add the following lines to the file /etc/config_files:

/etc/network/dhcpcd_cmd

/etc/dhcpcd-eth0.save

• Add the option “-x” to the factory default content of the file /etc/network/dhcpcd_cmd:

/sbin/dhcpcd -x -c /sbin/handle_dhcp

• Add all other necessary options to the file /etc/network/dhcpcd_cmd (some options are described below)

In both cases if the IP address of the Cyclades-TS or the default gateway are changed, the Cyclades-TS will

adjust the routing table accordingly.
