Hi! iproute has now support for network namespaces. For example: # ip netns create ns1 # ip link set eth1 netns ns1 # ip netns exec ns1 ip addr add 192.168.1.1/24 dev eth1 It would be great if ifupdown had support for netns as well. It would need to: 1. move the given interface into the appropriate namespace (like with "ip link") 2. configure the interface as usual (but is now in another namespace) 3. execute any up/down script into the appropriate namespace Either we could rely on "ip netns" to do all that or do it ourselves (but with compatibility with "ip netns") by issuing the appropriate setns() call before handling the interface. As ifupdown uses ifconfig, it seems easier to use the first approach. Each call could be wrapped in "ip netns exec" when the "netns" keyword is present. - -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.1.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.utf8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages ifupdown depends on: ii libc6 2.13-22 ii lsb-base 3.2-28 ii net-tools 1.60-24.1 ifupdown recommends no packages.
