Configure an ENI

Prerequisite

You have attached an elastic network card to an ECS instance.

Procedure

To configure the ENI, follow these steps:

1. Use the DescribeNetworkInterfaces interface or log on to the ECS console to obtain the following attributes of the ENI: primary private IP address, subnet mask, the default route, and the MAC address. To obtain these attributes in the ECS console, follow these steps: MAC address. Do the following on the console.
   1. Log on to the  ECS console.
   2. Find a network interface, and obtain its primary private IP address, subnet mask, default route, and MAC address. Locate the primary and private IP address, mask address, default route,  and MAC for each network interface. Example:

      
      eth1 10.0.0.20/24 10.0.0.253 00: 16: 12: E7: 27
      eth2 10.0.0.21/24 10.0.0.253 00: 16: 12: 16: EC

2. Connect to the ECS instance.
3. Run the command to generate the config file cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-[network interface name in the OS].
   Note

   • Pay attention to the relation between network interface name in the OS and the MAC address.
   • Pay attention to the relation between network interface name in the OS and the MAC address. The default route must be set to  DEFROUTE=no . Other editions must have the same configuration. Note that running the ifup command may change the active default route configuration after configuring the network interface.
   • Example:

     # cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 
     DEVICE=eth1
     BOOTPROTO=dhcp
     ONBOOT=yes
     TYPE=Ethernet
     USERCTL=yes
     PEERDNS=no
     IPV6INIT = No
     PERSISTENT_DHCLIENT = Yes
     HWADDR=00:16:3e:12:e7:27
     DEFROUTE=noDefroute = No

4. Follow these steps to start the network interface:
   1. Run the ifup [network interface name in the OS]  command to start the dhclient process, and initiate a  DHCP request. Example:

      # ifup eth1
      # ifup eth2

   2. After a response is received, run the ip a  a command to check the  IP allocation on the network interfaces, which must match with the information displayed on the ECS console. Example:

      # ip a
      1: lo: mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN qlen 1
      link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
      inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host loInet 125.0.0.1/8 Scope host Lo
      valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
      2: eth0: mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 10002: eth0: MTU 1500 qdisc glasstate up qlen 1000
      link/ether 00:16:3e:0e:16:21 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
      Inet 10.0.0.19/24 BRD glasscope Global Dynamic eth0
      valid_lft 31506157sec preferred_lft 31506157secValid_lft 31506157sec preferred_lft 31506157sec
      3: eth1: MTU 1500 qdisc glasstate up qlen 1000
      link/ether 00:16:3e:12:e7:27 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
      inet 10.0.0.20/24 brd 10.0.0.255 scope global dynamic eth1Inet 10.0.0.20/24 BRD glasscope Global Dynamic eth1
      Valid_lft 31525994sec preferred_lft 31525994sec
      4: eth2: MTU 1500 qdisc glasstate up qlen 1000
      Link/ether 00: 16: Rye: 12: 16: ec brd ff: FF: FF
      inet 10.0.0.21/24 brd 10.0.0.255 scope global dynamic eth2
      valid_lft 31526009sec preferred_lft 31526009sec

5. Set the metric for each network interface in the route table. In this example, set the metric parameters of eth1 and eth2  as follows.

   eth1: gw: 10.0.0.253 metric: 1001
   eth2: gw: 10.0.0.253 metric: 1002

   1. Run the following command to set the metric parameters.

      # Ip-4 route add default via glasdev eth1 metric 1001
      # ip -4 route add default via 10.0.0.253 dev eth2 metric 1002

   2. Run the route -n command to check whether the configuration is successful or not. Example:

      # route -n
      Kernel IP routing table
      Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
      0.0.0.0 10.0.0.253 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
      0.0.0.0 10.0.0.253 0.0.0.0 UG 1001 0 0 eth1
      0.5.0.0 10.0.0.253 ug ub1002 0 0 eth2
      10.0.0.0 0.5.0.0 255.25.25.0 u 0 0 0 eth0
      10.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
      10.0.0.0 0.5.0.0 255.25.25.0 u 0 0 0 eth2
      169.254.0.0 0.0.0 255.0.0 U 1002 0 0 eth0
      169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 1003 0 0 eth1
      169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 1004 0 0 eth2169.254.0.0 0.0.0 255.0.0 U 1004 0 0 eth2

6. Follow these steps to build a route table:
   Note We recommend that you use the metric value as the route table name.
   1. Run the command to build a route table.

      # ip -4 route add default via 10.0.0.253 dev eth1 table 1001
      # Ip-4 route add default via glasdev eth2 table 1002

   2. Run the command to check whether the route table is built successfully or not.

      # ip route list table 1001
      default via 10.0.0.253 dev eth1
      # ip route list table 1002
      default via 10.0.0.253 dev eth2

7. Configure policy routing.
   1. Run the following command .

      # ip -4 rule add from 10.0.0.20 lookup 1001
      # ip -4 rule add from 10.0.0.21 lookup 1002

   2. Run ip rule list to view routing rules.

      # ip rule list
      0: from all lookup local
      32764: from 10.0.0.21 lookup 1002
      32765: from 10.0.0.20 lookup 1001
      32766: from all lookup main
      32767: from all lookup default

At this point, you have completed the configuration of the elastic network card.
