static ip address configuration without Network Manager

SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop SLED Networking
1

hi,

I am using SLED 11 SP1-32 bit OS. I am trying wpa_supplicant for
configuring wireless networks, for that I disabled Network Manager in
‘Startup Applications’.

I configured static IP address in /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0 as

BOOTPROTO=‘static’
ONBOOT=‘yes’
BROADCAST=’’
ETHTOOL_OPTIONS=’’
IPADDR=‘172.16.31.1’
MTU=’’
NAME=‘88E8040 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller’
NETMASK=‘255.255.252.0’
NETWORK=’’
REMOTE_IPADDR=’’
STARTMODE=‘auto’
USERCONTROL=‘no’

and rebooted, but still eth0 is taking DHCP address. Please guide me
how I can give an IP address statically.

Thanks in advance
uv

Hi
Use YaST to configure your interface as you need to disable the
NetworkManager there.

hi

I think you missed Broadcast there…
also did you tested configuration? after issuing changes did you use the service network restart command and was the internet connection running?
