     5 This file shall give additional information on how to set up a network

     6 environment with Ethernet-over-EtherCAT devices.

     7 

     8 A virtual network interface will appear for every EoE-capable slave. The

     9 interface naming scheme is eoeXsY, where X is the master index and Y is the

    10 slave's ring position. Please provide a network configuration file for any of

    11 these interfaces. On SUSE systems, these can look like the following:

    12 

    13 /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eoe0s14:

    14 IPADDRESS=10.0.0.14/8

    15 STARTMODE=auto

    16 

    17 This will tell the ifupd to configure and open the device after it appears.

    18 

    19 If the interfaces shall be part of a network bridge, the IPADDRESS line is not

    20 necessary. Instead, copy the file script/ifup-eoe.sh to your systems if-up.d

    21 directory (on SUSE, this is /etc/sysconfig/network/if-up.d), and customize the

    22 included variables.
