Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ifupdown
Distro: Ubuntu 8.04 Server
Linux dragonfly 2.6.24-16-server #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 13:58:00 UTC 2008 i686
GNU/Linux
I've noticed that my ppp interface doesn't start during system boot through
/etc/network/interfaces ip-post-up command.
Part of /etc/network/interfaces file:
---------
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 10.0.3.4
netmask 255.255.255.0
hwaddress ether 12:34:56:78:9a:bc
post-up ip route replace 10.0.0.1/32 via 10.0.3.1 dev eth1
post-up pon telenet-vpn
pre-down poff telenet-vpn
--------
The weird thing is that second command "pon telenet-vpn" doesn't execute during
system boot.
But if i bring down the interface (ifdown eth1) and then then execute "ifup -a"
(same command is executed during boot) ppp interface will connect properly.
I tried to insert various commands for testing, so I came to this:
I insert a dummy command like "post-up echo buggy > /dev/null" - ppp interface
will go up during boot.
Here is example:
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 10.0.3.4
netmask 255.255.255.0
hwaddress ether 12:34:56:78:9a:bc
post-up echo "buggy" > /dev/null
post-up ip route replace 10.0.0.1/32 via 10.0.3.1 dev eth1
post-up pon telenet-vpn
pre-down poff telenet-vpn
