Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.7.8
Severity: important
requests for dhcp on an interface are made when dhcp is not set.
/etc/network/interfaces
has secondary nic I'm referring to as "eth0", dhcp is actually set on
"eth1"
the interfaces file has
"
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.1.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 10.1.1.0
broadcast 10.1.1.255
"
There should not be any dhcp requests on the eth0 link.
tcpdump on another workstation that is running the same edition Debian
shows requests coming from the above workstation.
(two isolated kvms using "virtual" networking, so it's a very restricted
testing environment.)
the tcpdump from this second workstation shows <source macaddress> >
ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff , 0.0.0.0:68 > 255.255.255.255.67: BOOTP/DHCP,
Request from <mac address>.. The interface setting on this is a mere "ip
link set <interface> up" with no ip address assigned to it. The only
source of traffic on this 1:1 virtual wire link is between these two
virtual workstations.
Please fix this thanks.
