in 7.2 and (i think) some earlier versions of red hat, i recall that using "netconfig" to change a net card's properties, then de-activating and re-activating that interface has no effect. why is this?
as a test, i used "netconfig" to change the IP address on an interface -- these new values were placed in the config file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. but when i ran: # ifdown eth0 # ifup eth0 the card still had its original properties. running # service network restart had the same problem. rebooting would get the new properties but that seems like pretty drastic action. what's the story here? how is that net card hanging onto its original configuration values even through ifdown and ifup operations? rday _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
