we're gonna make everyone configure their Linux network interfaces like this:

<netIf kernelInterfaceName="enp3s0" name="bnx2_0" type="ethernet">
<autoInit/>
<addrobj type="static" name="default">
<address>
<internetProtocol version="4">
<fixedAddress value="10.1.12.225"/>
<fixedNetmask value="ffffff00"/>
</internetProtocol>
</address>
<routing>
<internetProtocol version="4">
<route tag="default" name="default">
<hop destination="0.0.0.0/0" router="10.1.12.1" metric="100"/>
</route>
</internetProtocol>
</routing>
<nameService type="dns" name="default">
<internetProtocol version="4">
<dnsServer priority="1" address="10.1.12.1"/>
</internetProtocol>
</nameService>
</addrobj>
</netIf>
