Hi, I stumbled across a strange behavior of ifconfig/ip, regarding alias IP addresses on linux. I found this behaviour on suse 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and SLES10SP1.
When you configure multiple aliases on an single interface, and you specify netmasks and broadcasts, and then try to shutdown just the first created alias then all IP aliases for that interface will be gone. Removing one of the later created aliases works as expected. As I think virtual IP aliases are used often in HA environments, it might be of interest to you. here is more information: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=352841 Sebastian _______________________________________________________ Linux-HA-Dev: [email protected] http://lists.linux-ha.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-ha-dev Home Page: http://linux-ha.org/
