I want to use a usf (tiny) Dell that offers USB slots, no PCI.
It is on-line with the on-board nic, but that is not appropriate for direct internet.
modprobe pegasus
confirms that I have a usb nic at eth1,and that the IP address etc that I put in ifcfg-eth1 are being used.
But when I go to configure the server it says I only have one nic.
Charlie Brady said that "Yes, it can be made to work if you are prepared to do some tricky customisation."
How tricky do I have to get?
Thanks for any help.

I believe that this issue could be solved rather easy as a standard Linux configuration issue, and that this solution would work quite well.
If anyone suggest or makes standard Linux configurations on the SME server like this, there will normally be a lot of negative comments and flaming in this tread.
I think that it would be a good idea if some of the "sme server purists" came up with some suggestions how to solve things this way.

OK, then give it a go.

No thats incorrect you was making a change in firewall config which is a major configuration change, this poster is asking how to use a USB network adapter.

Again why don't you come up with the "magic" to make this work ?!

I do not agree on that statement. That should eventually be the magic.

GPete ->
Could you load the network kernel module and insert the USB network adapter.
Write a few words about the installation of the USB network adapter and how you loaded the driver module.
Please run these commands and post output here.
1. dmesg | tail
2. dmesg | grep eth
3. lsmod
4. ifconfig -a
5. iptables -L -n
I could try to look into it and see if I got any ideas ..

create a custom template to load pegasus module
then try
config setprop ExternalIP your_external_ip
config setprop ExternalNetmask your_netmask
config setprop EthernetDriver2 pegasus
config setprop GatewayIP your_gateway
config setprop ExternalInterface Broadcast external_broad_address Configuration static Driver pegasus \
Gateway your_gateway \
IPAddress your_external_ip \
Netmask your_netmask \
Network your_external_network
config setprop SystemMode servergateway-private
config setprop sysconfig PreviousSystemMode servergateway-private
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
not tested, should work
My 2C
Ciao

GPete ->
Your posting above shows that the configuration problem should be possible to solve.
The solution of nenonano looks like a good one (and a very intersting one) if it works.
I would suggest to give the nenonano solution first priority, because it looks like a soulution that is tightly integreated into the SME server automated config system, so that the "level of modification" or "change from the original" can be kept to a minimum.
Please also send me your ip on mail. My mail: arne22 at gmail dot com (Written this way to avoid spam.)
I would guess you will come up with a working solution, the one way or the other.
-
OK, instructions followed and the server is still functional and on-line.
If this worked, eth0 is now configured as an external connection, right?
How do I test that?
I found the test:
Review configuration
Networking Parameters
Server Mode servergateway
Did I by-pass the GUI Admin screen and eliminate the need for the usb 2nd nic?
looks like a go for me
Thanks to all
GP
-
I guess you did run the standard configuration procedure logging on to console or via ssh as "admin" and then configured as "gateway" ?
To check if it works log on to the gateway and ping some external address and then also on internel address. Then also ping from one internel client to the gateway and also to some address on the internett. Check also with the web browser on one LAN client.
Configuration can be shecked using this command from console: ifconfig
-
Spend two days on this [sigh] a slightly different approach from nenonano with the same result :-P
Working fine on two test boxes as far I can see from the logs, but do let me know if this is not the SME friendly way.
Tested on
HP E-pc 42
HP E-Vectra (a little gem, power bill for 90 days $8.50AUD, measured)
Howto
SME Server 7.3 USB gateway nic setup for pppoe.
With this howto the USB nic will be use as the external interface.
Config the server as per normal for dialup use.
Choose"Private server and gateway" and select "Server and gateway dialup".
Enter username, password, com port, etc and dial up number (any number, must be at lease 10 digits)
After the reboot login to the console run this command and then plugin the USB nic.
# tail -f /var/log/messages
You should see output similar to this. In my case its using rtl8150 driver.
kernel: usb 5-2: new full speed USB device using address 3
kernel: drivers/usb/net/rtl8150.c: eth%d: rtl8150 is detected
kernel: divert: allocating divert_blk for eth1
If not check Bios setting and or use a different chipset USB nic.
Update SME database configuration with the new driver.
# /sbin/e-smith/db configuration settype EthernetDriver2 rtl8150
Also, update these.
# /sbin/e-smith/db configuration settype AccessType dedicated
# /sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop ExternalInterface Configuration static
# /sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop pppoe DemandIdleTime no
# /sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop pppoe SynchronousPPP no
# /sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop pppoe status enabled
To check your work.
# /sbin/e-smith/db configuration show |more
Create a file and save it to load the driver on startup.
# pico /etc/e-smith/events/actions/module-load
#--------------------------------/snip/---------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
# Edit/add module driver here
DRIVER1=rtl8150
# Custom initialisation for modules
echo Loading additional modules...
/sbin/modprobe $DRIVER1
#--------------------------------/snip/---------------------------------
Set permissions and add symbolic link.
# chmod 554 /etc/e-smith/events/actions/module-load
# ln -s /etc/e-smith/events/actions/module-load /etc/e-smith/events/local/S20module-load
Optional (a moment to yourself)
# sleep 10
Cross fingers and activate changes with signal event.
# signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
After the reboot, SME will start pppoe and populate IP fields and expand relevant templates.
Note: reconfiguring the server from the admin screen will drop your new db settings. You need to run the db commands again and signal event.
Thx
Steve
