Command Line Network Configuration 11SP3`

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server SLES Configure-Administer
1

I need to script the network configuration for an SLES11 SP3 VM build.

The only issue I am having is I am able to edit the /etc/resolv.conf and have the proper search Domain parameters added but in Yast I know they are not reflected. I found the yast edit dns nameserver options for the command line but I have not been able to discover something that would work for adding or updating the domain search option(s).

Thank you for your assistance in this matter and make it a great day.

How about setting the NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SERVERS value in the
/etc/sysconfig/network/config file as a space-delimited list of values.

Good luck.

That works perfectly! Thank you. I can use grep to get the line number for the edit in the file and then update it accordingly.

Thank you once again.

Why use grep to get the line number before editing the file?

mike@minimac:/tmp> cp /etc/sysconfig/network/config . mike@minimac:/tmp> grep ^NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SERVERS config NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SERVERS="" mike@minimac:/tmp> sed -i 's/^\\(NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SERVERS="\\).*/\\1123.123.123.123 456.456.456.456"/' config mike@minimac:/tmp> grep ^NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SERVERS config NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SERVERS="123.123.123.123 456.456.456.456" mike@minimac:/tmp>

I recommend to have a look at ansible.
