Question STARTMODE=auto


Hi all,

I have seen people adding the line STARTMODE=auto in the file /etc/sysconfig/network-script/ifcfg-eth0 , in redhat based distros,for quick starting of the network interface , now my question is this applicable debian/ubuntu based distros as well.

in redhat base system STARTMOD=onboot/manual/hotplug option is used to define how to start interface. you can also use ONBOOT=yes/no to up/down interface during boot.

in debian base system if you define auto interface name in /etc/network/interfaces file then interface will up during boot and when you restart service otherwise you need to manually.
