Do you need to use a virtual interface for this ? For most applications they are fairly obsolete. It's simpler to just add "ip address add a.b.c.d/nn dev ethx" to a suitable place in your interface script. In Debian (and derivatives) I just put : post-up ip address add a.b.c.d/nn dev ethx pre-down ip address delete a.b.c.d/nn dev ethx to the relevant interface stanza in /etc/network/interfaces ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Shorewall-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/shorewall-users
