Public bug reported: Hello,
not sure to which package this belongs (snmpd/networking/upstart??). just noticed with ubuntu-server arch x64 on HPDL380G6 2 CPU quad core that snmpd (X5560 @ 2.80GHz) , snmpd which is bound on specific IP adresses) starts actually after configuring the interface. I suppose when (as default) snmpd binds on * it won't fail. networking seems to start via upstart: the resulting, relevant syslog: Jun 4 11:22:55 hpdl380g6 snmpd[1113]: error finding row index in _ifXTable_container_row_restore Jun 4 11:22:55 hpdl380g6 snmpd[1113]: error finding row index in _ifXTable_container_row_restore Jun 4 11:22:55 hpdl380g6 snmpd[1113]: getaddrinfo("XX.XX.XX.XX", NULL, ...): Address family for hostname not supported Jun 4 11:22:55 hpdl380g6 snmpd[1113]: Error opening specified endpoint "XX.XX.XX.XX" Jun 4 11:22:55 hpdl380g6 snmpd[1113]: Server Exiting with code 1 r...@hpdl380g6:/var/log# grep prdif messages Jun 4 11:22:55 hpdl380g6 kernel: [ 5.894070] udev: renamed network interface eth0 to prdif Jun 4 11:22:56 hpdl380g6 kernel: [ 6.678310] bnx2: prdif: using MSI Jun 4 11:22:56 hpdl380g6 kernel: [ 6.679423] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): prdif: link is not ready Jun 4 11:22:56 hpdl380g6 kernel: [ 6.699043] bnx2: prdif NIC SerDes Link is Up, 1000 Mbps full duplex Jun 4 11:22:56 hpdl380g6 kernel: [ 6.700053] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): prdif: link becomes ready You can see using udev, to rename the nics, in this same second snmpd starts, but in a second later the interface seems actually configured. in case it matters, the prdif NIC is actually a trunk, didn't notice it (yet) on another interface. the part of he nic in /etc/networking/interfaces iface prdif.382 inet static address XX.XX.XX.XX netmask 255.255.255.248 vlan_raw_device prdif ip-proxy-arp 0 ip-rp-filter 0 iface prdif.7 inet static # post-up sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.prdif/7.autoconf=0 address XX.XX.XX.XX netmask 255.255.254.0 vlan_raw_device prdif ip-proxy-arp 0 ip-rp-filter 0 iface prdif.7 inet6 static # pre-up modprobe ipv6 address XX:XX:XX::XX:XX netmask 64 vlan_raw_device prdif ip-proxy-arp 0 ip-rp-filter 0 So perhaps i made a mistake withing /etc/networking/interfaces, if not (and i think that is) it is a BUG. Restarting/testing is some efford as it is a production machine.
