Where this inquiry is going is: If your internal network is using 192.168.1 or 10..50.10, what should be in /etc/networks.
My current file contains:
default 0.0.0.0 loopback 127.0.0.0 link-local 169.254.0.0
And I'm pretty sure this is the default OS installed contents.
I don't think this is related to my connectivity issue, just curious about what this file does.
My old server (which is working just fine) has the same content in its /etc/networks file so not configuring this does not seem to matter one way or the other.
These are CentOS systems, aren’t they? CentOS doesn’t configure networking with /etc/networks. The files they use are in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*.
