Hello all,
This is my first time posting and I am relatively new to Linux.
I work for a system integration company and part of my job is to add networking cards to servers and attach IP addresses to the devices and make sure that they can communicate with a test server.
I might have six devices at once (em1,em2,em3,em4,p1p1,p1p2).
I will assign six different ip addresses to those devices:
ip addr add 10.1.9.3/24 dev p1p1
ip addr add 10.1.10.3/24 dev p1p2
ip addr add 10.1.15.3/24 dev em1
ip addr add 10.1.16.3/24 dev em2
ip addr add 10.1.17.3/24 dev em3
ip addr add 10.1.18.3/24 dev em4
After I have assigned those IP addresses to those devices, I run the Route command and it shows me a table with the six devices and the corresponding IP addresses.
Currently, if I want to reassign those IP addresses I have to use the ip addr del x.x.x.x dev x command.
Is there a command I can use to clear the table completely in one command, rather than unassigning each device one at a time? I have to test multiple cards with a limited amount of cables/ip addresses, so I have to clear out the routing to reuse the ports to test the next set of cards in a server.
I am using a live boot disc of CentOS 7 on Dell R640/640 hardware.
I have tried to Google the problem for the last few days and I can't seem to find an easy solution. I have found solution for clearing individual entries on the table, but I haven't found a way to wipe all addresses on all devices in one shot. Perhaps I am not asking the right question?
I am a n00b and happy to take any constructive chewing out that the folks around here have to offer. :^)
