If there is no network connection, your server's network connection will never come up until you log in at a console to fix it or reboot. With the speed of computers these days, our servers often boot up faster than the networking equipment after a power cut. I must be missing something here, so the system comes up, ip(s) are assigned to the interface, routes, etc then sometime later the switch comes up and you ssh in. Never been a problem for me. > -- > Jonathan Billings > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > -- Stephen Clark *NetWolves Managed Services, LLC.* Director of Technology Phone: 813-579-3200 Fax: 813-882-0209 Email: steve.clark at netwolves.com http://www.netwolves.com
