y treat anything which does not have a functional name as if it's an unused spare. You give it a functional name /before/ even considering bringing UP the interface. (I hope it's also obvious that in any zeroconf situation it's useful that an interface gets the same (initially random as far as I'm concerned) for each consecutive boot. But for your managed server usecase, this is completely uninteresting.) Regards, Andreas Henriksson
