Maybe the manual page of the ifconfig command should receive an update, e.g. noting this behavior regarding aliases in the BUGS section, adding ip(8) to the see also section and making a note that ifconfig is deprecated. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The stop action will show error messages, as the first ip addr del removes all aliases. the commented out fields show it working correctly when no netmask is specified, but then strange netmasks/broadcasts are generated. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Unfortunately I don't have time to investigate this now. Could you confirm that this problem also exists on 10.3 ? Henne if you want this to be fixed for SLES SP2 I think someone else should takeover this one. I'm busy with kiwi (lenovo,slepos,thin-client-SDK,system imaging workshop, OSMB conference, fosdem...) thanks -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Removing secondary addresses one-by-one is fine. The example in the initial description doesn't reproduce for me, but the script does. It seems to occur when a _new_ subnet is added via an alias (which gets added as a primary/global address); then all further addresses from that subnet will be secondary, and removing the primary stops these. The first example shouldn't show this behaviour, as eth0 itself is never brought down. The script though does add an entirely new network range. Normally, aliases are from the same subnet as the primary address, and then do not show this behaviour. No work-around exists, I tried various ip flags. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
