Also I was recently shown an alternative way to add addresses to interfaces which may become the recommended way:
iface eth0 inet manual up ip link set dev $IFACE up up ip address add dev $IFACE brd + x.x.x.x/26 up ip address add dev $IFACE brd + 192.168.155.20/24 up ip address add dev $IFACE brd + 192.168.155.21/24 up ip address add dev $IFACE brd + 192.168.155.211/24 down ip address flush dev $IFACE down ip link set dev $IFACE down This leverages iproute2 and is probably the more straightforward way to do complex setups. Note that I haven't tested this, it was just an idea somebody else showed me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/678425 Title: alias network interfaces sometimes dont start on boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ifupdown/+bug/678425/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
