Package: iproute Version: 20120521-3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
The documentation for "ip" suggests that, when using multiple routing tables, the table ID can be an arbitrary 32 bit number. I've been writing a script that calculates a table Id based on an IP addresses and sets up tables accordingly based on it. This seems to work for everything I've tried except "ip route flush". If you specify a table to flush with an ID over 2^31, it flushes all IPv4 routing tables. For example: # ip route flush table 3232261633 Will delete all routing tables, including the default one. Needless to say, this is quite annoying. I think this is an upstream bug, but your opinions will be greatly appreciated. All the best, -DH. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (550, 'testing'), (450, 'unstable'), (450, 'stable'), (445, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.4.4 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages iproute depends on: ii libc6 2.13-37 ii libdb5.1 5.1.29-5 Versions of packages iproute recommends: ii libatm1 1:2.5.1-1.5 Versions of packages iproute suggests: pn iproute-doc <none> -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
