Their union contains # AVAILABLE and MANDATORY and all of them have to be set up when starting # # MANDATORY_IFACES these must be up and well configured for success # At first get DIALUP and TUNNEL while IFS=- read a b; do test -z "$b" && continue b=`type_filter $b` case "`get_iface_type_from_config $b`" in lo|eth|tr|wlan|irda|ip6tnl|mip6mnha) continue ;; *ppp|dsl|modem|isdn) DIALUP_IFACES="$DIALUP_IFACES $b" ;; vlan|bond|bridge|ipip|sit|gre) TUNNEL_IFACES="$TUNNEL_IFACES $b" ............................ im not a programmer or networking expert, but to my undersanding the vlan needs to be closer to ethernet and way before a ppp devices as ppp can be over/on ethernet...... maybe other scenarios should also be taken into account, i didnt think about bonding, bridging, gre and so forth...... thanks for a quick fix or hint how to make my vdsl2 startup to work more reliable and to properly bring up the interfaces that depend on each other. best regards. -- 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.

[Bug 212053] New: Set promote_secondaries=1 by default
by bugzilla_noreply＠novell.com 13 Feb '09

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=212053 Summary: Set promote_secondaries=1 by default Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Alpha 5 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: kernel01(a)hailfinger.org QAContact: qa(a)suse.de /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/promote_secondaries is currently set to 0 by default. Changing that to 1 would be a user-visible change for users with multiple ip addresses on one interface, but the changed behaviour is IMO less surprising than the current one. Description for promote_secondaries: Deleting the primary IP address of an interface forces deletion all secondary IP addresses unless promote_secondaries is set. This side effect of killing all secondary addresses without warning (and without documentation about this behaviour) has caused me and lots of others quite some grief. Scenario: You are logged into a remote box on one of its secondary IP addresses (to be able to change the primary IP address without disrupting your work), delete the primary IP address to later add the new primary IP address and suddenly find out that the secondary IP address you were using for administration has vanished. No way to connect to the box (it has no IP address anymore), so you have to ask someone to flip the power switch and hope it works with the old config after reboot. If promote_secondaries had been set, the disaster would not have happened. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
