Hi All, I am working on some cdist scripts for setting up some network interfaces.
So far I am modifying the /etc/network/interfaces and then bring down and up the interfaces. For a while now /etc/init.d/networking has a warning that it is deprecated. I understand why. So I issue: # ip address flush dev xxx && ip link set xxx down Which seems to work fine. However, when I try to bring the device back up with the new config with "ifup xxx" It fails. If I first issue a "ifdown xxx" then it works. So I have couple questions for those who know about the situation in De*an: 1. Is there a plan to move away from ipconfig? 2. Is there a plan to write a /etc/init.d/networking script that works properly? 3. Is ifup unrelated to ifconfig and will continue to live and be used in the De*an ecosystem? 3. For my project: How does one bring up and down interfaces with ip in coordination with /etc/network/interfaces? Or shall I use ifup? Kind regards, Simon _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
