Hello.

Some machine today had power problems of an attached ethernet switch, and the ethx interface of the 13.2 x64 machine only had some ipv6 linklocal or so address assigned even when the switch came back.

There used to be commands such as rcnetwork restart ethx

I am unsure if this is because of some lackings of wicked components that there is this odd behavior.

I think you need to enable the wicked nanny. I had something similar happen to me a couple of weeks ago. I had an interface with dhcp that was not connected at startup, therefore it got no IP address.

...

Can I not set an ip address without the actual network cord being plugged in and having an ethernet link with a partner ethernet device?

You probably can with "ip addr add", but I suspect wicked will only do it on start-up or when the cable is plugged in (for startmode=ifplug), otherwise with the nanny.

...

At the end I needed to reboot the whole machine just to have that ipv4 address on that interface again working.

...

From memory:

ip link set dev ethx up ip addr add x.x.x.x dev ethx

On my Tw, "ifup ethx" still works with dwicked :^) -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
