By default Samba will query 10 the kernel for the list of all active interfaces and use any 11 interfaces except 127.0.0.1 that are broadcast capable.</para> 12 13 <para>The option takes a list of interface strings. Each string 14 can be in any of the following forms:</para> 15 16 <itemizedlist> 17 <listitem><para>a network interface name (such as eth0). 18 This may include shell-like wildcards so eth* will match 19 any interface starting with the substring "eth"</para></listitem> 20 21 <listitem><para>an IP address. In this case the netmask is 22 determined from the list of interfaces obtained from the 23 kernel</para></listitem> 24 25 <listitem><para>an IP/mask pair. </para></listitem> 26 27 <listitem><para>a broadcast/mask pair.</para></listitem> 28 </itemizedlist> 29 30 <para>The "mask" parameters can either be a bit length (such 31 as 24 for a C class network) or a full netmask in dotted 32 decimal form.</para> 33 34 <para>The "IP" parameters above can either be a full dotted 35 decimal IP address or a hostname which will be looked up via 36 the OS's normal hostname resolution mechanisms.</para> 37 38 <para> 39 By default Samba enables all active interfaces that are broadcast capable 40 except the loopback adaptor (IP address 127.0.0.1). 41 </para> 42 43 <para> 44 The example below configures three network interfaces corresponding 45 to the eth0 device and IP addresses 192.168.2.10 and 192.168.3.10. 46 The netmasks of the latter two interfaces would be set to 255.255.255.0. 47 </para> 48 49</description> 50<related>bind interfaces only</related> 51 52<value type="example">eth0 192.168.2.10/24 192.168.3.10/255.255.255.0</value> 53 54<value type="default"/> 55</samba:parameter> 56
