Data 2 missing

Question

Hi,
I have some troubles with ESA on first boot.
I cannot connect over IP address and in System Logs I see error.
Sat Jan 31 09:17:47 2015 Critical: An application fault occurred: ('egg/interface_controller.py configure_interfaces|845', "<type 'exceptions.ValueError'>", 'interface not found', '[egg/interface_controller.py run|1052] [egg/interface_controller.py configure_interfaces|845]')
So, I connect over serial and create revert.
After revert management (data 1) network is working fine but data 2 is missing.
Data 2 on HW appliance is blinking (it doesnt look like HW issue) so how can I get Data 2...

Answer 1

You should be able to do one of two ways:
1) run ifconfig > NEW and follow the wizard prompts to add in 'Data 2' as desired:
> ifconfig
Currently configured interfaces:
1. Management (192.168.0.199/24 on Management: mail.igo232.com)
Choose the operation you want to perform:
- NEW - Create a new interface.
- EDIT - Modify an interface.
- GROUPS - Define interface groups.
- DELETE - Remove an interface.
[]> new
Please enter a name for this IP interface (Ex: "InternalNet"):
[]> Data 2
Would you like to configure an IPv4 address for this interface (y/n)? [Y]> 
IPv4 Address (Ex: 192.168.1.2 ):
[]> 
The IP address must be 4 numbers separated by a period.  Each number must be a value from 0 to 255. (Example: 192.168.1.1)
IPv4 Address (Ex: 192.168.1.2 ):
[]> 
... <continue on> ...
2) Manually edit your saved XML and add in 'Data 2' for <Ports> and <Ethernet Settings>, mimicking what you have already in for the 'Data 1' sections:
 <port_interface>
      <port_name>Data 2</port_name>
      <direct>
        <jack>Data 2</jack>
        <jack_mtu>1500</jack_mtu>
      </direct>
    </port_interface>
<ethernet>
      <ethernet_interface>Data 2</ethernet_interface>
      <media>autoselect</media>
      <media_opt></media_opt>
      <macaddr></macaddr>
    </ethernet>
Save your edited XML and reload that XML onto the appliance.
