RC file - adding new storage network

DAVE_WITHERS — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:54:23 GMT

Greetings. Need help on what exactly I need to add to the /etc/rc file on my 3240 in 7-mode on 8.1.2 p4 after temporarily bringing up interfaces from the CLI so that it becomes permanent.

I do know how to add to configs on the netapp, i am mostly curious at what from my commands issued below need to go into the RC and where to make it work as expected. What I added from the CLI is below that brought up a non routing 'storage' network for our NFS and what I need added to my RC file.

ifgrp create lacp STORAGE -b ip e6b e6a

vlan create STORAGE 203

ifconfig STORAGE-203 10.21.203.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 mtusize 9000 up

ifconfig STORAGE-203 alias 10.21.203.6 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

Interfaces are up fine at this point and I can reach them.

My rc file consists of the below

#Auto-generated by setup Tue Jun 5 17:52:15 CDT 2012

hostname XXXXX

ifgrp create lacp LACP -b ip e1a e1b

ifconfig e0M `hostname`-e0M flowcontrol full netmask 255.255.255.128 mtusize 1500

ifconfig LACP `hostname`-LACP netmask 255.255.254.0 partner LACP mtusize 9000 trusted wins up

route add default 172.21.192.1 1

routed on

options dns.domainname xxxxxxx.domain.com

options dns.enable on

options nis.enable off

savecore

I am assuming all i need to do is paste that chunk of data I used in CLI either above or below the other ifgrp/ifconfig/etc statements. Thanks for any input.

You need to add exactly the same commands.
