Not true:
ifconfig.eth0
ifconfig.eth0:2
Both use IFACE=eth0.
Also, the user has the option of ONBOOT=no so there is the capability to
manually do ifdown x && ifup y using the same IFACE.
I do like using BRIDGE.
+ test -n "${MTU}" -a $MTU -eq $MTU -a 0 -lt $MTU 2> /dev/null
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
What does the 2nd segment do? If you are testing for MTU being an
integer, the 3rd segment will do that. Perhaps it would be better to
issue an error statement if the argument is not formatted correctly:
if test -n "${MTU}"; then
if [[ ${MTU} =~ ^[0-9]+$ ]] -a [[ $MTU -ge 68 ]] ; then
ip link set dev ${IFACE} mtu $MTU
else
echo "Invalid MTU $MTU"
fi
fi
Another issue is how to handle the case when the user wants to add eth0
and eth1 to the bridge? I don't think we do that properly in ifup
although bridge tries to handle it.
