activating an unconfigured interface using /etc/network/interfaces...?
I have a dual-homed host spanning two networks and I would like to leave one of its interfaces unconfigured so that I can use libpcap applications on that network unobserved. I can do this using the command string "ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0 up", but I was wondering if there was a way to do this using the /etc/network/interfaces file and the ifup/ifdown commands. If there is, I can't seem to get the syntax. Thanks, Matthew
