file absent

I don't find file : hwconf in /etc/sysconfig/hwconf to declare description of THE ETHERNET INTEFACE FOR COMMUNICATION.

it's normal or I can find this information in other file ?

can you help me please.

As long as the interface is a regular interface... Meaning that the system recognizes that the interface is in the machine all you need to do is modify the network-interfaces.conf file in /ner/admin. For example my machine would not recognize eth1 until I gave it an IP address even though a cable was plugged into it. I just gave it a phoney IP address and now I have a mirrored port connected to it...

[edit - corrections]

I used the graphical interface in Centos5 to configure the interfaces.

I have two interfaces, One with an address that is actually on the network (with a default gateway). I didn't have to tell NER about this interface.
On the 2nd interface I just gave it a bogus address and configured that as the interface for monitoring in network-interfaces.conf.
I did not put a default gateway on the 2nd interface.

To get to the ner web page I just put the real ip address http://192.168.12.63/cgi-bin/request in my browser.
I never needed to declare which interface to communicate on.

Does that help?

How your file /ner/admin/network-interface.ini is declared ?

thanks

Network interfaces content...
[root@plot admin]# more network-interfaces.ini
# DECLARE IN THIS FILE THE NETWORK INTERFACES FOR WHICH THE TRAFFIC WILL BE CAPTURED
# 1 LINE FOR 1 INTERFACE DECLARATION
#
# FOR INSTANCE if you want to get NER to analyze all traffic going across
# interfaces eth0, eth1 and eth2, then add those 3 lines without '#':
#eth0
eth1
#eth2
[root@plot admin]#

Is that what you are asking?

ok I believed that it was necessary to declare more thing.

thank you
