+ Configuring your Network
+
+ Content:
+ * Automatic Network Detection
+ * Automatic Network Configuration
+ * Manual Network Configuration
+
+ a. Automatic Network Detection
+
+ Maybe it just works?
+
+ If your system is plugged into an Ethernet network with a DHCP server, it
+ is very likely that your networking configuration has already been set up
+ automatically for you. If so, you should be able to take advantage of the
+ many included network-aware commands on the Installation CD such as ssh,
+ scp, ping, irssi, wget and links, among others.
+
+ If networking has been configured for you, the /sbin/ifconfig command
+ should list some network interfaces besides lo, such as eth0:
+
+ Code Listing 1: /sbin/ifconfig for a working network configuration
+ # /sbin/ifconfig
+ (...)
+ eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:BA:8F:61:7A
+ inet addr:192.168.0.2 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
+ inet6 addr: fe80::50:ba8f:617a/10 Scope:Link
+ UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
+ RX packets:1498792 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
+ TX packets:1284980 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
+ collisions:1984 txqueuelen:100
+ RX bytes:485691215 (463.1 Mb) TX bytes:123951388 (118.2 Mb)
+ Interrupt:11 Base address:0xe800
+
+ Optional: Configure any Proxies
+
+ If you access the Internet through a proxy, you might need to set up proxy
+ information during the installation. It is very easy to define a proxy:
+ you just need to define a variable which contains the proxy server
+ information.
+
+ In most cases, you can just define the variables using the server
+ hostname. As an example, we assume the proxy is called proxy.gentoo.org
+ and the port is 8080.
+
+ Code Listing 2: Defining proxy servers
+ (If the proxy filters HTTP traffic)
+ # export http_proxy="http://proxy.gentoo.org:8080"
+ (If the proxy filters FTP traffic)
+ # export ftp_proxy="ftp://proxy.gentoo.org:8080"
+ (If the proxy filters RSYNC traffic)
+ # export RSYNC_PROXY="proxy.gentoo.org:8080"
+
+ If your proxy requires a username and password, you should use the
+ following syntax for the variable:
+
+ Code Listing 3: Adding username/password to the proxy variable
+ http://username:password@proxy.gentoo.org:8080
+
+ Testing the Network
+
+ You may want to try pinging your ISP's DNS server (found in
+ /etc/resolv.conf) and a Web site of your choice, just to make sure that
+ your packets are reaching the net, DNS name resolution is working
+ correctly, etc.
+
+ Code Listing 4: Further network testing
+ # ping -c 3 www.yahoo.com
+
+ If you are now able to use your network, you can skip the rest of this
+ document. If not, read on.
+
+ b. Automatic Network Configuration
+
+ If the network doesn't work immediately, some installation media allow you
+ to use net-setup (for regular or wireless networks), adsl-setup (for
+ ADSL-users) or pptp (for PPTP-users - only available on x86).
+
+ If your installation medium does not contain any of these tools or your
+ network doesn't function yet, continue with Manual Network Configuration.
+
+ * Regular Ethernet users should continue with Default: Using net-setup
+ * ADSL users should continue with Alternative: Using RP-PPPoE
+ * PPTP users should continue with Alternative: Using PPTP
+
+ Default: Using net-setup
+
+ The simplest way to set up networking if it didn't get configured
+ automatically is to run the net-setup script:
+
+ Code Listing 5: Running the net-setup script
+ # net-setup eth0
+
+ net-setup will ask you some questions about your network environment. When
+ all is done, you should have a working network connection. Test your
+ network connection as stated before. If the tests are positive,
+ congratulations! You are now ready to install Gentoo and can skip the
+ rest of this document.
+
+ If your network still doesn't work, continue with Manual Network
+ Configuration.
+
+ Alternative: Using RP-PPPoE
+
+ Assuming you need PPPoE to connect to the internet, the Installation CD
+ (any version) has made things easy for you by including rp-pppoe. Use the
+ provided adsl-setup script to configure your connection. You will be
+ prompted for the ethernet device that is connected to your adsl modem,
+ your username and password, the IPs of your DNS servers and if you need a
+ basic firewall or not.
+
+ Code Listing 6: Using rp-pppoe
+ # adsl-setup
+ # adsl-start
+
+ If something goes wrong, double-check that you correctly typed your
+ username and password by looking at /etc/ppp/pap-secrets or
+ /etc/ppp/chap-secrets and make sure you are using the right ethernet
+ device. If your ethernet device doesn't exist, you will have to load the
+ appropriate network modules. In that case you should continue with Manual
+ Network Configuration as we explain how to load the appropriate network
+ modules there.
+
+ If everything worked, continue with Preparing the Disks.
+
+ Alternative: Using PPTP
+
+ Note: PPTP support is only available for x86
+
+ If you need PPTP support, you can use pptpclient which is provided by our
+ Installation CDs. But first you need to make sure that your configuration
+ is correct. Edit /etc/ppp/pap-secrets or /etc/ppp/chap-secrets so it
+ contains the correct username/password combination:
+
+ Code Listing 7: Editing /etc/ppp/chap-secrets
+ # nano -w /etc/ppp/chap-secrets
+
+ Then adjust /etc/ppp/options.pptp if necessary:
+
+ Code Listing 8: Editing /etc/ppp/options.pptp
+ # nano -w /etc/ppp/options.pptp
+
+ When all that is done, just run pptp (along with the options you couldn't
+ set in options.pptp) to connect the server:
+
+ Code Listing 9: Connection to a dial-in server
+ # pptp <server ip>
+
+ Now continue with Preparing the Disks.
+
+ c. Manual Network Configuration
+
+ Loading the Appropriate Network Modules
+
+ When the Installation CD boots, it tries to detect all your hardware
+ devices and loads the appropriate kernel modules (drivers) to support your
+ hardware. In the vast majority of cases, it does a very good job. However,
+ in some cases, it may not auto-load the kernel modules you need.
+
+ If net-setup or adsl-setup failed, then it is possible that your network
+ card wasn't found immediately. This means you may have to load the
+ appropriate kernel modules manually.
+
+ To find out what kernel modules we provide for networking, use ls:
+
+ Code Listing 10: Searching for provided modules
+ # ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net
+
+ If you find a driver for your network card, use modprobe to load the
+ kernel module:
+
+ Code Listing 11: Using modprobe to load a kernel module
+ (As an example, we load the pcnet32 module)
+ # modprobe pcnet32
+
+ To check if your network card is now detected, use ifconfig. A detected
+ network card would result in something like this:
+
+ Code Listing 12: Testing availability of your network card, successful
+ # ifconfig eth0
+ eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FE:FD:00:00:00:00
+ BROADCAST NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
+ RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
+ TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
+ collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
+ RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
+
+ If however you receive the following error, the network card is not
+ detected:
+
+ Code Listing 13: Testing availability of your network card, failed
+ # ifconfig eth0
+ eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found
+
+ If you have multiple network cards in your system they are named eth0,
+ eth1, etc. Make sure that the network card you want to use works well and
+ remember to use the correct naming throughout this document. We will
+ assume that the network card eth0 is used.
+
+ Assuming that you now have a detected network card, you can retry
+ net-setup or adsl-setup again (which should work now), but for the
+ hardcore people amongst you we explain how to configure your network
+ manually.
+
+ Select one of the following sections based on your network setup:
+
+ * Using DHCP for automatic IP retrieval
+ * Preparing for Wireless Access if you have a wireless card
+ * Understanding Network Terminology explains what you need to know about
+ networking
+ * Using ifconfig and route explains how to set up your networking
+ manually
+
+ Using DHCP
+
+ DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) makes it possible to
+ automatically receive networking information (IP address, netmask,
+ broadcast address, gateway, nameservers etc.). This only works if you have
+ a DHCP server in your network (or if your provider provides a DHCP
+ service). To have a network interface receive this information
+ automatically, use dhcpcd:
+
+ Code Listing 14: Using dhcpcd
+ # dhcpcd eth0
+ Some network admins require that you use the
+ hostname and domainname provided by the DHCP server.
+ In that case, use
+ # dhcpcd -HD eth0
+
+ If this works (try pinging some internet server, like Google), then you
+ are all set and ready to continue. Skip the rest of this section and
+ continue with Preparing the Disks.
+
+ Preparing for Wireless Access
+
+ Note: Support for the iwconfig command is only available on x86, amd64 and
+ ppc Installation CDs. You can still get the extensions working otherwise
+ by following the instructions of the linux-wlan-ng project.
+
+ If you are using a wireless (802.11) card, you may need to configure your
+ wireless settings before going any further. To see the current wireless
+ settings on your card, you can use iwconfig. Running iwconfig might show
+ something like:
+
+Code Listing 15: Showing the current wireless settings
+# iwconfig eth0
+eth0 IEEE 802.11-DS ESSID:"GentooNode"
+ Mode:Managed Frequency:2.442GHz Access Point: 00:09:5B:11:CC:F2
+ Bit Rate:11Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm Sensitivity=0/65535
+ Retry limit:16 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
+ Power Management:off
+ Link Quality:25/10 Signal level:-51 dBm Noise level:-102 dBm
+ Rx invalid nwid:5901 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx
+ excessive retries:237 Invalid misc:350282 Missed beacon:84
+
+ Note: Some wireless cards may have a device name of wlan0 or ra0 instead
+ of eth0. Run iwconfig without any command-line parameters to determine the
+ correct device name.
+
+ For most users, there are only two settings that might be important to
+ change, the ESSID (aka wireless network name) or the WEP key. If the ESSID
+ and Access Point address listed are already that of your access point and
+ you are not using WEP, then your wireless is working. If you need to
+ change your ESSID, or add a WEP key, you can issue the following commands:
+
+ Code Listing 16: Changing ESSID and/or adding WEP key
+ (This sets the network name to "GentooNode")
+ # iwconfig eth0 essid GentooNode
+
+ (This sets a hex WEP key)
+ # iwconfig eth0 key 1234123412341234abcd
+
+ (This sets an ASCII key - prefix it with "s:")
+ # iwconfig eth0 key s:some-password
+
+ You can then confirm your wireless settings again by using iwconfig. Once
+ you have wireless working, you can continue configuring the IP level
+ networking options as described in the next section (Understanding Network
+ Terminology) or use the net-setup tool as described previously.
+
+ Understanding Network Terminology
+
+ Note: If you know your IP address, broadcast address, netmask and
+ nameservers, then you can skip this subsection and continue with Using
+ ifconfig and route.
+
+ If all of the above fails, you will have to configure your network
+ manually. This is not difficult at all. However, you need to be familiar
+ with some network terminology, as you will need it to be able to configure
+ your network to your satisfaction. After reading this, you will know what
+ a gateway is, what a netmask serves for, how a broadcast address is formed
+ and why you need nameservers.
+
+ In a network, hosts are identified by their IP address (Internet Protocol
+ address). Such an address is a combination of four numbers between 0 and
+ 255. Well, at least that is how we perceive it. In reality, such an IP
+ address consists of 32 bits (ones and zeros). Let's view an example:
+
+ Code Listing 17: Example of an IP address
+ IP Address (numbers): 192.168.0.2
+ IP Address (bits): 11000000 10101000 00000000 00000010
+ -------- -------- -------- --------
+ 192 168 0 2
+
+ Such an IP address is unique to a host as far as all accessible networks
+ are concerned (i.e. every host that you are able to reach must have a
+ unique IP address). In order to distinguish between hosts inside and
+ outside a network, the IP address is divided in two parts: the network
+ part and the host part.
+
+ The separation is written down with the netmask, a collection of ones
+ followed by a collection of zeros. The part of the IP that can be mapped
+ on the ones is the network-part, the other one is the host-part. As usual,
+ the netmask can be written down as an IP-address.
+
+ Code Listing 18: Example of network/host separation
+ IP-address: 192 168 0 2
+ 11000000 10101000 00000000 00000010
+ Netmask: 11111111 11111111 11111111 00000000
+ 255 255 255 0
+ +--------------------------+--------+
+ Network Host
+
+ In other words, 192.168.0.14 is still part of our example network, but
+ 192.168.1.2 is not.
+
+ The broadcast address is an IP-address with the same network-part as your
+ network, but with only ones as host-part. Every host on your network
+ listens to this IP address. It is truly meant for broadcasting packets.
+
+ Code Listing 19: Broadcast address
+ IP-address: 192 168 0 2
+ 11000000 10101000 00000000 00000010
+ Broadcast: 11000000 10101000 00000000 11111111
+ 192 168 0 255
+ +--------------------------+--------+
+ Network Host
+
+ To be able to surf on the internet, you must know which host shares the
+ Internet connection. This host is called the gateway. Since it is a
+ regular host, it has a regular IP address (for instance 192.168.0.1).
+
+ We previously stated that every host has its own IP address. To be able to
+ reach this host by a name (instead of an IP address) you need a service
+ that translates a name (such as dev.gentoo.org) to an IP address (such as
+ 64.5.62.82). Such a service is called a name service. To use such a
+ service, you must define the necessary name servers in /etc/resolv.conf.
+
+ In some cases, your gateway also serves as nameserver. Otherwise you will
+ have to enter the nameservers provided by your ISP.
+
+ To summarise, you will need the following information before continuing:
+
+ Network Item Example
+ Your IP address 192.168.0.2
+ Netmask 255.255.255.0
+ Broadcast 192.168.0.255
+ Gateway 192.168.0.1
+ Nameserver(s) 195.130.130.5, 195.130.130.133
+
+ Using ifconfig and route
+
+ Setting up your network consists of three steps. First we assign ourselves
+ an IP address using ifconfig. Then we set up routing to the gateway using
+ route. Then we finish up by placing the nameserver IPs in
+ /etc/resolv.conf.
+
+ To assign an IP address, you will need your IP address, broadcast address
+ and netmask. Then execute the following command, substituting ${IP_ADDR}
+ with your IP address, ${BROADCAST} with your broadcast address and
+ ${NETMASK} with your netmask:
+
+ Code Listing 20: Using ifconfig
+ # ifconfig eth0 ${IP_ADDR} broadcast ${BROADCAST} netmask ${NETMASK} up
+
+ Now set up routing using route. Substitute ${GATEWAY} with your gateway IP
+ address:
+
+ Code Listing 21: Using route
+ # route add default gw ${GATEWAY}
+
+ Now open /etc/resolv.conf with your favorite editor (in our example, we
+ use nano):
+
+ Code Listing 22: Creating /etc/resolv.conf
+ # nano -w /etc/resolv.conf
+
+ Now fill in your nameserver(s) using the following as a template. Make
+ sure you substitute ${NAMESERVER1} and ${NAMESERVER2} with the appropriate
+ nameserver addresses:
+
+ Code Listing 23: /etc/resolv.conf template
+ nameserver ${NAMESERVER1}
+ nameserver ${NAMESERVER2}
+
+ That's it. Now test your network by pinging some Internet server (like
+ Google). If this works, congratulations then. You are now ready to install
+ Gentoo.
