Before you Power Off the Director Device

date_range 05-Feb-16

If you power off the QFX3100 Director device before configuring the new interfaces, the new interfaces will stay down or be removed from the control plane when the Director device is brought back up. If you are removing network module 1, you need to edit:

  • ifcfg-eth2

  • ifcfg-eth3

  • ifcfg-eth4

  • ifcfg-eth5

If you are removing network module 2, you need to edit:

  • ifcfg-eth6

  • ifcfg-eth7

  • ifcfg-eth8

  • ifcfg-eth9

Use the following procedure to edit the four ifcfg-ethn files.

  1. From root, use the vi editor to delete the HWADDR= line in each of the four files.

    For example, to configure ifcfg-eth1 for Director device 1:

    content_copy zoom_out_map
    [root@qfabric ~]# ll /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 219 Jun 17 07:14 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 153 Jun 17 07:14 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 134 Jun 17 07:14 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 135 Jun 17 07:15 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth3
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 135 Jun 17 07:15 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth4
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 135 Jun 17 07:15 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth5
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 134 Jun 17 07:14 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth6
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 121 Jun 17 07:14 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth7
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 121 Jun 17 07:14 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth8
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 121 Jun 17 07:14 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth9
    [root@dg1 ~]# 
    [root@dg1 ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2
                 
    
    HWADDR=00:18:7D:31:19:C2 << Delete the entire line.
    DEVICE=eth2
    USERCTL=no
    SLAVE=yes
    MASTER=bond0
    ONBOOT=yes
    BOOTPROTO=static
    PEERDNS=no
    NOZEROCONF=yes
    MTU=9000
    [root@qfabric ~]#
    
  2. Save the file and repeat the process with the remaining 3 files for the Director device.
  3. Locate and delete the following file:

    [root@qfabric ~]# rm /etc/udev/rules.d/61-persistent-net.rules

  4. Power off the QFX3100. See Powering Off a QFX3100 Director Device
