Example of ifcfg-eiocx setup for SuSE and SLES systems:
BOOTPROTO='static'
IPADDR='172.26.48.130'
BROADCAST='172.26.63.255'
NETMASK='255.255.240.0'
NETWORK='172.26.48.0'
STARTMODE='hotplug'
TYPE='Ethernet'
Verify the physical connection between the VIO hardware and
the Ethernet network
If the interface is displayed in an ifconfig and a ping between the IB host and
the Ethernet host is still unsuccessful, verify that the VIO hardware Ethernet ports
are physically connected to the correct Ethernet network. Verify that the Ethernet
port corresponding to the IOCGUID for the interface to be used is connected to
the expected Ethernet network.
