Description: Network scripts for ifupdown
This package provides a set of network testing scripts to be used together
with the ifupdown package. These scripts can:
- check the network cable before an interface is configured.
- test if an assigned IP address is already in use in the network.
- test if default network gateways are reachable.
- setup default static routes for interfaces.
.
This package also provides 'network-test', a script to test the network
configuration status by checking:
- Status of available interface.
- Availability of configured gateway routes.
- If host resolution is working properly (DNS checks).
- If network connectivity is working, including ICMP and web connections to
remote web servers.
Tag: admin::configuring, network::configuration, network::routing,
role::program, scope::utility, use::checking, use::configuring,
works-with::network-traffic
IMVHO the static routes part should be moved to ifupdown. How about a
'whishlist' bug?
Hope this helps,
Andrei
