for sure! :) [...] > Is eth0.0 a vlan interface, or is it a "virtual copy" of eth0 added by > ifconfig? ifconfig creates them for adding more than one address to an > interface, which has become superfluos with the more recent iproute2 > tools. with "virtual copy" you mean an ip alias interface? no. if you have more then one ip on a interface, you add these alias interfaces. But these alias interfaces are called "eth0:1" and so on. Vlans are called "eth0.5" (for the vlan with the id 5). The difference is just the "." and ":" in the interface name. On normal linux machines you also have "eth0.X" as interface name for bridges. Some distros might use other names like "vlanX" but this just done by renaming the interface afterwards.

In case we simply don't want to use them. as I wrote in another mail. the link local addresses are neede for a working ipv6 setup. you can disablem them if you don't load the ipv6 module at all or by using "ip -6 addr flush <interface>". But even if you deactive autoconf at all, a link local address is always used. These addresses (with some other magic) replaces arp completly. > Regards, > Milan --Ralph _______________________________________________ freewrt-developers mailing list [email protected] https://www.freewrt.org/lists/listinfo/freewrt-developers
