Package: iproute2 Version: 4.9.0-1 Severity: minor Hi,
Here is an example on my (updated) Debian Stretch where eth1 and wlan0 have the state DOWN but they are still displayed by the "ip" command: ~$ /bin/ip address show up 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 20:cf:30:52:6a:56 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.0.1/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global dynamic eth0 valid_lft 79732sec preferred_lft 79732sec inet6 fe80::22cf:30ff:fe52:6a56/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 3: eth1: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ether 00:14:d1:2f:6c:ac brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 4: wlan0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ether 7a:ba:f9:69:f7:65 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff Regards. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages iproute2 depends on: ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u1 ii libdb5.3 5.3.28-12+b1 ii libelf1 0.168-1 ii libmnl0 1.0.4-2 ii libselinux1 2.6-3+b1 Versions of packages iproute2 recommends: pn libatm1 <none> ii libxtables12 1.6.0+snapshot20161117-6 Versions of packages iproute2 suggests: pn iproute2-doc <none> -- no debconf information
