------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $Id$ This file shall give additional information on how to set up a network environment with Ethernet-over-EtherCAT devices. A virtual network interface will appear for every EoE-capable slave. The interface naming scheme is either eoeXsY, where X is the master index and Y is the slave's ring position, or (if the slave has an alias set) eoeXaZ, where Z is the (decimal) alias address. Please provide a network configuration file for any of these interfaces. On SUSE systems, these can look like the following: /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eoe0s14: IPADDRESS=10.0.0.14/8 STARTMODE=auto This will tell the ifupd to configure and open the device after it appears. If the interfaces shall be part of a network bridge, the IPADDRESS line is not necessary. Instead, copy the file script/ifup-eoe.sh to your systems if-up.d directory (on SUSE, this is /etc/sysconfig/network/if-up.d), and customize the included variables. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
