Product: initscripts Component: initscripts Summary: ifplugd is incompatible with range eth aliases. Version: 7.02-3mdk Platform: PC OS/Version: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Try to define range interface aliases with the following file: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0-range0 ------------------------------------------------ IPADDR_START=192.168.0.80 IPADDR_END=192.168.0.82 BOOTPROTO=static CLONENUM_START=0 GATEWAY=192.168.0.1 Then issue a restart: # service network restart [...] Bringing up interface eth0: [ OK ] Bringing up interface eth0-range0: Sorry, there is already an instance of ifplu gd for eth0 running. [FAILED] The problem seems to come from the fact that the network-scripts want to launch an ifplugd as if the aliases were new interface and not aliases. Workaround: ----------- There is a simple workaround, just add MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=1 to the aliases range file to deactivate ifplugd. At least it should be specified somewhere in the doc or in the ifup-aliases file Brice ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
