     16    <para>Which interfaces are brought up and down by the network script
     17    depends on the files and directories in the <filename
     18    class="directory">/etc/sysconfig</filename> hierarchy.
     19    This directory should contain a sub-directory for each interface to be
     20    configured, such as <filename>ifconfig.xyz</filename>, where
     21    <quote>xyz</quote> is a network interface name. Inside this directory
     22    would be files defining the attributes to this interface, such as its IP
     23    address(es), subnet masks, and so forth.</para>
     24
     25    <note><para>Udev may assign random Network Card Interface names
     26    for some network cards such as enp2s1. If you are not sure what
     27    your Network Card Interface name is, you can always run
     28    <command>ip l</command> after you have booted your system. Again,
     29    it is important that <filename>ifconfig.xyz</filename> is named
     30    after correct Network Card Interface name (e.g.
     31    <filename>ifconfig.enp2s1</filename> or
     32    <filename>ifconfig.eth0</filename>) or Systemd will fail to bring
     33    up your network interface.</para></note>

     50    file to match the proper setup.</para>
     51
     52    <para os="var-i">The <envar>IFACE</envar> variable defines the interface
     53    name, for example, eth0. It is required for all network device configuration
     54    files.</para>
     55
     56    <para os="var-s">The <envar>SERVICE</envar> variable defines the method used
     57    for obtaining the IP address. The CLFS-Network-Scripts package has a modular
     58    IP assignment format, and creating additional files in the <filename
     59    class="directory">/lib/services</filename>
     60    directory allows other IP assignment methods.</para>
     61
     62    <para>The <envar>GATEWAY</envar> variable should contain the default
     63    gateway IP address, if one is present. If not, then comment out the
     64    variable entirely.</para>
     65
     66    <para>The <envar>PREFIX</envar> variable needs to contain the number of
     67    bits used in the subnet. Each octet in an IP address is 8 bits. If the
     68    subnet's netmask is 255.255.255.0, then it is using the first three octets
     69    (24 bits) to specify the network number. If the netmask is 255.255.255.240,
     70    it would be using the first 28 bits.  Prefixes longer than 24 bits are
     71    commonly used by DSL and cable-based Internet Service Providers (ISPs).
     72    In this example (PREFIX=24), the netmask is 255.255.255.0. Adjust the
     73    <envar>PREFIX</envar> variable according to your specific subnet.</para>
