iface eth0 inet static
: Defines a static IP address for eth0
iface eth0 inet manual
:To create a network interface without an IP address at all. Usually used by interfaces that are bridge or aggregation members, or have a VLAN device configured on them
For more information read:
Take a look on the file /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples/network-interfaces.gz
, you can know more about manual and some cases to use:
# Set up an interface to read all the traffic on the network. This # configuration can be useful to setup Network Intrusion Detection # sensors in 'stealth'-type configuration. This prevents the NIDS # system to be a direct target in a hostile network since they have # no IP address on the network. Notice, however, that there have been # known bugs over time in sensors part of NIDS (for example see # DSA-297 related to Snort) and remote buffer overflows might even be # triggered by network packet processing. # # auto eth0 # iface eth0 inet manual # up ifconfig $IFACE 0.0.0.0 up # up ip link set $IFACE promisc on # down ip link set $IFACE promisc off # down ifconfig $IFACE down # Set up an interface which will not be allocated an IP address by # ifupdown but will be configured through external programs.
