Fix network configuration

Fri, 10/26/2018 - 15:29

Created page with "==Description== In the firmware [https://community.elphel.com/files/393/20180511/ '''20180511'''] and older the ip address and network mask of the camera are applied from ''/e..."

New page

==Description==
In the firmware [https://community.elphel.com/files/393/20180511/ '''20180511'''] and older the ip address and network mask of the camera are applied from ''/etc/elphel393/init_elphel393.py''
script overriding ''/etc/network/interfaces'', which appeared to have incorrect configuration.

In the newer firmware releases this functionality will be disabled to bring the network setup to a more traditional way, i.e. by modifying ''/etc/network/interfaces''.

==How to update network setup for '''20180511''' or older firmware==
===Quick instructions===
* Camera is online. The ip address can be any, e.g., 192.168.0.9
* In a terminal window (linux os) type the following commnads:
<font size='2'>wget https://community.elphel.com/files/393/fix_network_config/fix_net_config.tar.gz
tar -xzpf fix_net_config.tar.gz
cd fix_net_config
./host_script.sh 192.168.0.9</font>

===Description===
From a Linux PC, download [https://community.elphel.com/files/393/fix_network_config/fix_net_config.tar.gz fix_net_config.tar.gz].
The archive contains 2 scripts - one (shell) is run from the host PC, another (python) will be copied and automatically run on the camera.
The python script will write the current configuration to ''/etc/network/interfaces'' and overwrite one of the init scripts to disable network
configuration in ''/etc/elphel393/init_elphel393.py'' on startup.
<font size='2'>'''fix_net_config.tar.gz'''
├── '''README.md'''
├── '''host_script.sh''' - run from host pc: copies '''fix_net_config.py''' and '''rootfs.tar.gz''' then runs '''fix_net_config.py'''
├── '''fix_net_config.py''' - unpacks '''rootfs.tar.gz''', replaces network configuration with the current one and copies all files to the root file system
└── '''rootfs.tar.gz''' - archive with 2 files
├──'''etc/init.d/init_elphel393''' - init script that disables network setup in ''/etc/elphel393/init_elphel393.py''
└──'''etc/network/interfaces''' - network setup for eth0
