Hi Ed,
"static" is not a protocol.
It is in my ifcfg-eth0 file after a clean install....and I didn't put it there.
I'm curious where you got that information. I've searched off and on
for years and never found that documented anywhere although I have seen
it used somewhat frequently and which may actually be a source of errors
in some scripts. From:
The Official Red Hat Linux Reference Guide
Chapter 12. Network Scripts
BOOTPROTO=<protocol>, where <protocol> is one of the following:
none — No boot-time protocol should be used.
bootp — The BOOTP protocol should be used.
dhcp — The DHCP protocol should be used.
Additionally, grepping for BOOTPROTO in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/*
finds no test for static.
Based on that I'd have to say BOOTPROTO=none is correct.
hth,
Mike Wright
