Adding a Second NIC

If you wish to add a second network interface, you must create a new file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/<name of new interface> and configure the IP address and other settings. After a network restart or reboot, the new interface appears in the web interface.

To modify the sysconfig network scripts:

1. Start the VM.

2. SSH into the Haivision server:
   ssh hvroot@<IP or FQDN> -t "bash -l"

3. Elevate to root:
   sudo su -

4. Copy an existing config for the new NIC:
   cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
cp ifcfg-eth0 ifcfg-eth1

5. Use your favorite text editor to edit the new config file:
   vi ifcfg-eth1

Note

Ensure you remove the GATEWAY line, else the new NIC overwrites the system’s default gateway.

6. Ensure the SELinux context is properly set, by checking:
   ls -Z ifcfg-eth1

7. If it needs correcting, set it with:
   chcon system_u:object_r:httpd_config_t:s0 ifcfg-eth1

8. Restart the VM.

The second NIC appears in the web interface.
