Network/interfaces

Below is the contents of a sample /etc/network/interfaces file.

This machine is a VM configured like so:

• First network connection is NAT'ed (to gain access to the 'trusted' company network)
  • The interface is configured to use DHCP
• Second network connection is Bridged (to allow access to a tiny subnet with the target development board on)
  • The interface is configured to use the IP address/mask 10.150.129.113/27
  • The gateway is set to 0.0.0.0 to ensure that no traffic is routed through this interface if it is not destined for the configured subnet
