Product: initscripts
Component: initscripts
Summary: ifplugd is incompatible with range eth aliases.
Version: 7.02-3mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Try to define range interface aliases with the following file:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0-range0
------------------------------------------------
IPADDR_START=192.168.0.80
IPADDR_END=192.168.0.82
BOOTPROTO=static
CLONENUM_START=0
GATEWAY=192.168.0.1
Then issue a restart:
# service network restart
[...]
Bringing up interface eth0: [ OK ]
Bringing up interface eth0-range0: Sorry, there is already an instance of ifplu
gd for eth0 running.
[FAILED]
The problem seems to come from the fact that the network-scripts want to launch
an ifplugd as if the aliases were new interface and not aliases.
Workaround:
-----------
There is a simple workaround, just add MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=1 to the aliases range
file to deactivate ifplugd.
At least it should be specified somewhere in the doc or in the ifup-aliases file
