Hi,

There is a stub called 'interfaces.mas' located by default in '/usr/share/zentyal/stubs/network/' that manages the '/etc/network/interfaces' configuration file.

* https://doc.zentyal.org/en/appendix-c.html#stubs

Remember that if you do any changes in the stub, you will need to run the following command to apply the changes:

Code: [Select]

sudo zs network restart

I already know that  :) .

But my question is, when the zentyal network service start, where the scripts retrieve the interface name, the IP address to use, ....
Does those value are store in a database, in a file, ....

Apparently, the interfaces name are gathered by the following function and passed as an argument to the stub 'interfaces.mas':

Also, all the configurations you set in Zentyal GUI are stored in the Redis database, you can see all the configurations by running the following command:

Code: [Select]

sudo /usr/share/zentyal/redisvi

## For a particular module
sudo /usr/share/zentyal/redisvi network

You shouldn't change anything in Redis itself, you must use the Zentyal GUI. If for some reason you need it, you could use the script '/usr/share/zentyal/clean-conf network that resets the module from scratch. I am not sure if there would be an issue due to the module dependencies. So, if you try it, make sure you did a backup of the server.
