Package: netcfg
Severity: wishlist
Please add the possibility to specify pointopoint
routes when setting up the networking in the Debian Installer.
The result would look like something like this:
iface eth0 inet static
address a.b.c.d
netmask 255.255.255.255
gateway e.f.g.h
pointopoint e.f.g.h
Afterwards this routing would look like:
root@alpha:~# ip route
default via e.f.g.h dev eth0
e.f.g.h dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src a.b.c.d
root@alpha:~# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
0.0.0.0 e.f.g.h 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
e.f.g.h 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0
At the moment I don't know of any other way to configure this besides
skipping the network confguration at installation time and then doing a
manual network configuration afterwards.
Or is there some other option that I'm just not aware of?
With the growing shortage of IPv4 adress space this will probably become
more and more common.
At least for one large hoster in Germany this is already the standard
mode of operation if you want to have more then one IP address (for
virtual machines for example).
Cheers
Mike
