Stupid Mistake

I'm a home user using v7.1+. I accidentally shut down the trusted interface and can't get back in through the browser from the internal net.

Is there any way to restart that interface? I have access to root on the command line.

EEEDIOT!

you can try an 'ifconfig eth[x] up'.
replace [x] by the number of your internal ethernet device.

you might also be able to re-enable it by logging in as root, and using the "cc" utility to change the Astaro configuration.

normally, I would
ifconfig eth0 up

not working... do I have to restart some service(s) too?

I am used to Debian distros and this looks Red Hat-ish...

help?

thx!

Astaro's rpm etc is based on SLES with hardened linux kernel. The problem is that when you shut off an interface via webadmin, it not only shuts off the interface, it deletes the relevant netfilter rules so you can't just re-enable the interface and be back in business via webadmin.

There probably should be some safeguard against this kind of thing besides a complete system restore. You did create a backup didn't you [;)]. Just kidding, maybe some developer can chime in and tell you the steps that work via cc on console.
