Andy Kurth created VCL-588: ------------------------------ Summary: Windows may retrieve network configuration before all network interfaces are initialized Key: VCL-588 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-588 Project: VCL Issue Type: Bug Components: vcld (backend) Affects Versions: 2.2.1 Reporter: Andy Kurth Assignee: Andy Kurth Fix For: 2.3
A Windows image may boot, runs update_cygwin.cmd, then responds to SSH before all network interfaces are initialized. This particularly has been known to affect Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008. This causes all sorts of problems. The code which attempts to determine which is the public and private interface gets confused. It may return the private interface name instead of the public, and subsequent code may change the settings and break SSH. One improvement that will help: Add code to try to determine if everything has been initialized before running ipconfig to retrieve the network configuration. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
