Francisco,
My only explanation for what you are seeing is that this might be
a kernel-specific problem. More specifically, if the kernel is not
sending the right netlink upcall messages to the FEA, the IP address
information might be lost when taking a VLAN down and up.
Unfortunately, I don't have a Linux system with 2.6.22 kernel to
verify that.
Hence, could you do the following and send me the output.
In this experiment you won't need XORP.
1. Start with a configured VLAN interface that is UP and use
"ip addr" to capture the output.
2. Run "ip monitor all" in the same terminal as in (1)
3. Open another terminal and become a root.
4. Use the "ifconfig" command in the second terminal to take the
VLAN interface down and then up:
ifconfig vlan1 down
ifconfig vlan1 up
5. Stop "ip monitor" in the first terminal, and use again
"ip addr" to show the interface information.
Please send me the output from the first terminal:
the "ip addr" output at the beginning and the end of the experiment,
and the "ip monitor all" captured output.
For reference purpose, below is what I get on Ubuntu-8.10 with
kernel 2.6.24-19-server.
Thanks,
Pavlin
