I’m trying to configure ip (static, so without dhcp), there are some problems that I can't resolve by my self, because I do not understand it in a whole. Sorry if it is already answered, but as I said, I can't find any topic explaining it in a whole.
I'm using wpa_supplicant to connect, on a system with openRC as service manager.
Here are what I did yet :
DNS resolution : /etc/resolve.conf
172.20.10.1
Host name : /etc/hosts
.168.1.150 myname.name.net
Interfaces : /etc/network/interfaces
lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.1.150
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
-ip a(ddress) : gives me an ip for the interface wlan0, but no netmask, not gateway.
-arp : ? (192.168.1.1) at on wlan0
-ip r(oute) 192.168.1.1 dev wlan0 metric 1 onlink
192.168.1.0/24 dev wlan0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.150
With this, I can't connect to a routeur, but looks like I can only send packets, stackoverflow.com
returns error.
My questions are :
1. Why arp is incomplete, and how to fixe it ?
2. Why a
doesn't print netsmak and gateway for device wlan0 ?
3. What's the use of netmask and gateway ?
Thanks to anyone who takes time to answer to an apprentice.
