Hi guys,

New to ClearOS. I have installed it onto a VM with 2 NIC assigned to it but during the wizard, i am unable to see any of it during the Interface screen. May i know how can I resolve this issue?

thanks!

    That does not look quite right. If you have a static IP I'd expect BOOTPROTO to be "static". If it is obtained by DHCP it should be "dhcp". Mine both have the line
    USERCTL="no"
    as well but I am not sure if it is relevant.

    Also in /etc/clearos/network, at least one of them should be designated as EXTIF. The second one could either LAN or WAN depending on your set up. Note that two WANS would be:
    EXTIF="enp0s5 enp0s6"


    Can I ask where you are getting your screen dumps from? Is that the Installation Wizard? I could not get my NIC's to show there unless they were physically connected. As yours are in a VM I don't know how to achieve that.

    Hi,

    There is. Is it ok if the nic interface is named as ifcfg-enp0s5 and ifcfg-enp0s6?

    Contents:

    cat ifcfg-enp0s5
    DEVICE="enp0s5"
    ONBOOT="yes"
    BOOTPROTO="none"
    HWADDR="00:1c:42:78:1f:79"
    IPADDR="192.168.113.210"
    NETMASK="255.255.0.0"
    -bash-4.2#

    Do you see any files like /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*? Tehre should be one for each NIC. If you do, what are their contents?

    Hi,

    Both nic are connected. I just could not see it in webconfig. But when i click add virtual interface i can choose those 2 nics. See attached screenshot. Any other way to troubleshoot this?

    Those NIC's should be fine with those drivers.

    I know they are virtual NIC's but can you make sure they are connected? At least one needs to be designated as external.

    Hi,

    lspci -k | grep Eth -A 3
    00:05.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82545EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper)
    Subsystem: Parallels, Inc. Device 0400
    Kernel driver in use: e1000
    Kernel modules: e1000
    00:06.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82545EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper)
    Subsystem: Parallels, Inc. Device 0400
    Kernel driver in use: e1000
    Kernel modules: e1000
    -bash-4.2#


    Seems to be e1000.

    Which Intel NIC? If it is an e100 NIC you'll need extra drivers. If you can get to it, what is the output of "lspci -k | grep Eth -A 3"?

    Hi,

    If i was to skip the wizard and go to configure network settings and i click create virtual interface, i can choose my 2 NIC interface enps05 and enps06 but it just does not show up as physical interface. How should i troubleshoot this? It is Intel NIC interace.

    thanks!

    Have you chosen NIC types which ClearOS has drivers for? I don't really know VM's so I don't know what is available.
