Public bug reported: I'm not sure if this bug is in dhcp3-client or ifupdown.
My /etc/network/interfaces looks like this: iface eth0 inet dhcp metric 10 When the interface is brought up automatically, the metric-line is ignored, the default-route has metric 100. But when issuing a manual ifdown,ifup, there are two default-routes, one with metric 100, one with metric 10. # ip route # modprobe e1000e # ip route 10.0.0.0/8 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.5.16 default via 10.0.1.111 dev eth0 metric 100 # (ifdown eth0 && ifup eth0) &>/dev/null # ip route 10.0.0.0/8 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.5.16 default via 10.0.1.111 dev eth0 metric 10 default via 10.0.1.111 dev eth0 metric 100 ** Affects: dhcp3 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Option "metric" in /etc/network/interfaces broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/504407 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
