| grub-install /dev/sda |
| update-grub |
| reboot |
| (Remove the USB bootable pendive) |

Note2: To set up two network cards for static addressing.
First you need to find the name of the card using below command
| root@sabproxy:~# dmesg | grep -i network |
You can also search for "eth" instead of "network"
In this case we have to set two network cards eth0 and eth1 respectively:
| [ 1.165623] e1000 0000:00:03.0: eth0: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection [ 1.645478] e1000 0000:00:08.0: eth1: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection |
Command to find network interfaces available on your system:
|
root@sabproxy:~# ifconfig lo Link encap:Local Loopback |
In above case eth0 is already configured while installation of SafeSquid Appliance Builder(SAB).
It's time to enable eth1
Edit the file path using below command on console
vim /etc/network/interfaces
|
This file describes the network interfaces available on your system The loopback network interface The primary network interface
|
To restart network interface eth1 up
| root@sabproxy:~# service network-interface restart INTERFACE=eth1 |
