Hello,
after upgrading from kernel 2.4 to 2.6 (2.6.8 sarge and 2.6.15 etch) i have a
problem with virtual interfaces (e.g. eth0:1) in /etc/network/interfaces with
mapping-scripts.
When i define 2 virtual interfaces the first run of ifup -a stopps directly
after calling the mapping-script for the first interface(the interface is not
up). Running ifup -a the second time the first interface will be up, but it
stopps directly after calling the mapping script for the second interface. and
so on
Example:
Interfaces (eth0, eth1, eth0:1, eth0:2)
auto eth0
...
auto eth1
...
auto eth0:1
mapping eth0:1
script /config/bin/get-config
map fw1 eth0:1-fw1
map fw2 eth0:1-fw2
iface eth0:1-fw1 inet static
address 192.168.26.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
iface eth0:1-fw2 inet static
address 192.168.26.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
auto eth0:2
mapping eth0:2
script /config/bin/get-config
map fw1 eth0:2-fw1
map fw2 eth0:2-fw2
iface eth0:2-fw1 inet static
address 172.20.1.2
netmask 255.255.0.0
iface eth0:2-fw2 inet static
address 172.20.1.3
netmask 255.255.0.0
...
Calling ifup -a the first time, the script is envoked for eth0, eth1 und
eth0:1. ifup stopps directly after calling the script for eth0:1.
Second run:
fw2:~# ifup -a -v
Running mapping script /config/bin/get-config on eth0:1
Configuring interface eth0:1=eth0:1-fw2 (inet)
run-parts --verbose /etc/network/if-pre-up.d
ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.26.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
run-parts --verbose /etc/network/if-up.d
run-parts: executing /etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs
run-parts: executing /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate
run-parts: executing /etc/network/if-up.d/openvpn
run-parts: executing /etc/network/if-up.d/sendmail
Running mapping script /config/bin/get-config on eth0:2 <- why does ifup
stopps?
fw2:~#
Third run:
fw2:~# ifup -a -v
Running mapping script /config/bin/get-config on eth0:2
Configuring interface eth0:2=eth0:2-fw2 (inet)
run-parts --verbose /etc/network/if-pre-up.d
ifconfig eth0:2 172.20.1.3 netmask 255.255.0.0 broadcast 172.20.255.255
up
run-parts --verbose /etc/network/if-up.d
run-parts: executing /etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs
run-parts: executing /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate
run-parts: executing /etc/network/if-up.d/openvpn
run-parts: executing /etc/network/if-up.d/sendmail
fw2:~#
The mapping script returns a constand value (for test).
How can i use a mapping script with kernel 2.6 and virtual interfaces?
Thanks
Andreas
