How do I hate thee. I would switch all of my servers to Linux in a heartbeat, if I could.
How do I manually FORCE an interface from PUBLIC (not Unidentified) to Private?
Details:
This network is a supernet /20 with a Procurve 2920 as the Core switch and gateway. I am running two domains on this subnet with 2008 servers, and am trying to attach a 2012 server to the correct domain with STATIC IP settings.
If the 2012 server is setup with DHCP, it is configured with the wrong domain suffix (company1.local) and does work properly. When I attempt to attach the server to the correct domain, the change in domain suffix to company2.local, causes the interface to be recognized as PUBLIC.
If I define the Interface as STATIC, with identical settings and manually define the domain suffix under advanced properties, the interface is still seen as PUBLIC....
