Bug#679954: ifdown on virtual interface takes down other virtual interface on the same subnet
Hello, tried your suggestion, but the problem persists. Peculiarly with both virtual interfaces up, ifdown eth0:1 now also shows odd behavior. After issuing the command, the virtual interface is still shown by ifconfig. Best regards, A.

Bug#679954: ifdown on virtual interface takes down other virtual interface on the same subnet
Package: ifupdown Version: 0.6.10 If more virtual interfaces are defined with the same subnet, taking the first down with ifdown seems to take them all down. An example. # cat /etc/network/interfaces # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 10.10.10.13 netmask 255.255.255.0 auto eth0:0 iface eth0:0 inet static address 192.168.1.11 netmask 255.255.255.0 auto eth0:1 iface eth0:1 inet static address 192.168.1.12 netmask 255.255.255.0 So eth0 is in a different subnet from eth0:0 and eth0:1 and the latter two are in exactly the same subnet. Make sure everything is up. # /etc/init.d/networking restart # ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0c:29:f0:74:73 inet addr:10.10.10.13 Bcast:10.10.10.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::20c:29ff:fef0:7473/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:9580 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:5840 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:11324732 (10.8 MiB) TX bytes:446804 (436.3 KiB) eth0:0Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0c:29:f0:74:73 inet addr:192.168.1.11 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 eth0:1Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0c:29:f0:74:73 inet addr:192.168.1.12 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 loLink encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:560 (560.0 B) TX bytes:560 (560.0 B) When the first virtual interface is brought down, the second is brought down alongside: # ifdown eth0:0 # ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0c:29:f0:74:73 inet addr:10.10.10.13 Bcast:10.10.10.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::20c:29ff:fef0:7473/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:9608 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:5860 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:11327256 (10.8 MiB) TX bytes:450216 (439.6 KiB) loLink encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:560 (560.0 B) TX bytes:560 (560.0 B) Expected behavior would be that eth0:1 would still be up. ifdown eth0:1 does not have the same effect on eth0:0, it stays up.
