The real question here is what are you trying to do?

looking at
<http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Masquerading-Simple-HOWTO/intro.html>
I've changed the IP addresses as follows:
arrakis eth0 123.12.23.43
arrakis eth1 192.168.0.1
caladan eth0 192.168.0.2
to be able connect arrakis eth0 to the hub, ping caladan, disconnect
arrakis eth0 from the hub, connect arrakis eth1 to the hub, ping
caladan, repeat..
to do do that, is a default gateway required?
I'm just taking this one very small step at a time.
thanks,

It sounds like you want the OS to recognize whether you have a
cable plugged in and "auto-mount" like a USB drive or something.
You seem to have some serious misunderstandings about how
these things are intended to work. I know of only a few machines
which treat ethernet cables as "hot pluggable". I'd be very
surprised to find that any version of Linux would do that.
Reconfiguring a live network is not something many OSs do. This
normally takes administrator intervention.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
