Multiple NICs and DHCP

Asked by Ryota Hashimoto

I'm using cloud-init-including image on OpenStack.

When I create an VM instance which has two NICs, one NIC gains IP address but another won't.

[DHCP1]         [DHCP2]
      |                |
     +--(eth0)[VM](eth1)--+
VLAN A             VLAN B

How can I set each IP address from both DHCP servers to both NICs?

try:

sudo dhclient eth1
sudo dhclient eth0

Network manager (as far as I know) will only allow one link one interface, you may want to use the /etc/network/interfaces file

Tried but failed because of other reasons (maybe tag VLAN configurations.)
