System and Network configuration • Re: How to add new dummy persistent network device

Thank you both for assisting me, unfortunately I did not see your replies.


@Aki

With your proposed changes, I see following message during startup

> [FAILED] failed to start networking.service - Raise network interfaces.
> See systemctl status networking.service for details

And after executing systemctl status networking.service, I see following errors:

> failed(Result: exit-code) since <today datae>

and

> Process: 747 ExecStart=/urs/sbin/ifup -a --read-environment (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

and with "ip a", I do not see the dummy network interface

@arzgi

I'm not sure what your command does, in particular, how does it help to define a dummy network interface with a fixed mac address? Or do I need to execute it after some other changes?
