[Ltib] rc.conf and network initialization

[Chris Westervelt]

Does anyone know what needs to be done to satisfy /etc/rc.d/init.d/network start or restart to allow for a change between ‘static’ and ‘dhcp’ configurations to take place after the system is up and running.  My product needs to be able to change this on the fly.  When I /etc/rc.d/init.d/network start/restart I get an error about IPADDR not set in rc.conf.  I have not found any syntax about IPADDR in any wiki on rc.conf.  Only ifconfig_xxN which is also a mystery as to where the  xxN comes from if we don’t have an /etc/network/ifconfig.conf file or something like this or do we?
