Hi, Seems in Linux, if we ping our own IP address (configured on our local eth interface), it always succeeds no matter the related eth interface is up or down. I know this is because Linux let such ICMP packets go over local loopback interface instead.
Is there easy anyway to change this behavior, such that when the eth is down, no ping reply is received for the IP configured on it? [ Cisco IOS behaves this way. ] We got complaints on this Linux behavior, since customers feel it confusing, and don't want to see ICMP replies for an eth ifc if it's down. Thanks in advance!
