How to configure static IP addresses in bridging mode for CentOS6.4 NICs in VMware

1. disable network manager chkconfigNetworkManageroffserviceNetworkManagerstop2. create a virtual Nic cdetcsysconfignetwork-scriptscpifcfg-eth0ifcfg-br03 to bridge, edit ifcf

1. disable the network manager.

# chkconfig NetworkManager off# service  NetworkManager stop

2. create a virtual network card for bridging

# cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts # cp ifcfg-eth0 ifcfg-br0

3. edit ifcfg-br0

# vi ifcfg-br0 DEVICE="br0"TYPE="Bridge"ONBOOT="yes"BOOTPROTO=staticIPADDR=192.168.1.17PREFIX=24GATEWAY=192.168.1.1DNS1=202.106.46.151

DNS2=202.106.0.20DELAY=0 

Note: it is best to switch to the root account. Otherwise, the message "E45: 'readonly' option is set (add! To override)

4. edit ifcfg-eth0

# vi ifcfg-eth0 DEVICE="eth0"NM_CONTROLLED="yes"ONBOOT=yesTYPE=EthernetBRIDGE="br0"BOOTPROTO=noneIPADDR=192.168.1.17PREFIX=24GATEWAY=192.168.1.1DEFROUTE=yesIPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yesIPV6INIT=noNAME="System eth0"UUID=5fb06bd0-0bb0-7ffb-45f1-d6edd65f3e03DNS1=202.106.46.151

DNS2=202.106.0.20

HWADDR=00:1E:67:07:EC:30 

IPADDR: IP address of the same network segment as your computer
GATEWAY: same as the default GATEWAY of your computer

5. restart the network.

# service network restart

6. the following error may be prompted::

Bringing up interface eth0: Device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization. [FAILED]

Solution:

First, open/etc/udev/rules. d/70-persistent-net.rules, as shown in the following example:

# vi /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules# This file was automatically generated by the /lib/udev/write_net_rules# program, run by the persistent-net-generator.rules rules file.## You can modify it, as long as you keep each rule on a single# line, and change only the value of the NAME= key.# PCI device 0x1022:0x2000 (pcnet32)SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:0c:29:8f:89:97", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"# PCI device 0x1022:0x2000 (pcnet32)SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:0c:29:50:bd:17", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1"

Record the mac address of the eth1 Nic: 00: 0c: 29: 50: bd: 17
Next, open the/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

# Vi/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

Change DEVICE = "eth0" to DEVICE = "eth1 ",
Change HWADDR = "00: 0c: 29: 8f: 89: 97" to the above mac address HWADDR = "00: 0c: 29: 50: bd: 17"

Finally, restart the network.

# Service network restart
Or

#/Etc/init. d/network restart

Normal.
