https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=281966 Summary: bridge initialization ifup script should honor configuration of bridge port devices Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 4plus Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: ezra.pagel@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Bridge port devices might have configuration settings that need to be retained as bridge port members (like link promiscuity mode, MTU, and so on). While it might not make sense for a bridge port device to have an IP identity, many of the ifcfg-ethX settings are still applicable. The current init script just sets the link mode before adding/removing the interface, which disregards the constituent device's configuration settings. Please use ifdown/ifup. 113,115c113, < MESSAGE=`ifdown "$PORT_INTERFACE" && \ < brctl addif "$INTERFACE" "$PORT_INTERFACE" && \ < ifup "$PORT_INTERFACE"` ---
