Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.8.19
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
With Debian Jessie I had the following sections in /etc/network/interfaces,
working fine:
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.151.130
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.151.1
iface eth0 inet6 auto
accept_ra 2
dhcp 0
dad-attempts 0
request_prefix 0
allow-hotplug eth2
iface eth2 inet static
address 172.30.2.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
iface eth2 inet6 auto
accept_ra 0
dhcp 0
dad-attempts 0
request_prefix 0
But since the upgrade from Jessie to Stretch eth0/eth2 are not
activated anymore.
A manual "ifup eth0" after boot still works fine, the network interface
exists.
The /etc/init.d/networking script contains a section ifup_hotplug()
handling this, but the systemd service networking.service is missing it,
and nothing else seems to replace it if the interface already exists
at boot time.
As this VM image should work without screaming boot errors even if network
interfaces are missing I do not want to use "auto ethX" instead - which
worked with allow-hotplug exactly as wanted in Jessie.
Greetings
Haegar
