bind_interface

This command allows you to bind the specified network interface name to a specific network interface (specific MAC address).

This command can be used if static IP addressing is used in your VMware vSphere infrastructure.

After running this command, in other commands in which you need to specify a network interface name, you can use an ensN name or an ethN name (klconfig handles the conversion of network interface names).

Parameters

<InterfaceName> <MAC>

where:

• <InterfaceName> – name of the network interface, for example, eth2.
• <MAC> – MAC address of the network interface to which you want to bind a name.

Example: > ssh klconfig@192.0.2.17 bind_interface eth2 00-00-5E-00-00-00 > klconfig@192.0.2.17's password: KLCONFIG OK

Specific errors

Wrong mac address format "<mac_address>". Incorrect MAC address.

Wrong interface format "<interface name>". Incorrect network interface name.
