ifdown/ifup requires that every interface be detected before hand and restarted individually on multi-homed hosts and hypervisors.
For hypervisors in a cloud environment this includes virtual bridges as well. The init script method available till this release of the OS allowed restarting all interfaces and bridges on any host via a single command remotely. With this change, now each machine may need a different network shutdown/startup/restart process unique to its particular configuration. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1301015 Title: Networking does not restart To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/1301015/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
