Kickstart: one network card with DHCP, one with static IP?

Question

I am using Kickstart to automate a CentOS install. I wanted one of the interfaces to have static IP so I wrote -

network --onboot yes --bootproto static \
        -ip="intended IP" -netmask="intended netmask" \
        -gateway="intented gateway" --device eth0*

I also wanted the other ethernet to have dynamic ip so i also configured a DHCP server for my network and for the other interface card wrote

network --onboot yes --device eth1 --bootproto dhcp

But to my surprise the ethernet to be configured static was also provided with dynamic IP. What is wrong here?

The answer seems simple. You used the wrong syntax. "-" instead of "--".

@mandeep that would not be the first GUI to generate a wrong configuration. I checked the CentOS-kickstart-documentation for the syntax. – Nils Sep 12 '12 at 19:51
