Hi Folks, I have some kind of a nasty problem.
I have a small server with 3 Lan ports - however - when I don't need the Local LAN - I do also power-down the Switch. This is however a problem - as ifplugd performs a Interface shutdown - and for some apps to work correctly - the Interface needs an IP address. So - I defined what Interfaces the ifplugd should take care of in /etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.conf (eth2 - DHCP Cable Network), and want it to ignore other ones. No go... As soon as I unplug the eth0 cable - the device IP address is removed. I have circumvented this issue by deactivating the ifplugd stuff to be used completely (removing the if-statement in rc.d/init.d/networks using ifplugd) - at least - everything is working as it should - but this should not happen IMHO. Anyone knows a better way ???
