Package: ifupdown Version: 0.6.8 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch
Greetings,
a lot of setups require the addition of multiple ip addresses
to a single network interface. The default ifupdown system debian
employs offers no configuration directives to achieve this. The
attached script in conjunction with the iproute package enables
the configuration file /etc/network/interfaces to solve this issue
by the introduction of a new parameter calles "addresses":
iface eth0 inet static
# the usual configuration
address 192.168.0.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
# additional addresses, even multiple per line
addresses 192.168.1.5/24 192.168.1.6/24
# multiple lines can be added by using an appended label
addresses-sslsites 192.168.10.1/24 192.168.10.4/24
addresses-debug 10.0.0.2/8
The script (http://wertarbyte.de/debian/addresses) is placed in
the directory /etc/network/if-up.d/ and a symlink towards it in
if-down.d interprets the new parameters, merges all specified
addresses and adds them by using "ip". When deconfiguring the
interface, the addresses are removed as well.
