Doc Text Cause:
Typo in ifdown-eth script
Consequence:
When we put down an alias interface we want to remove only its addresses. We do it by calling
ip addr flush dev ${REALDEVICE} ${LABEL} ...
where REALDEVICE is the parent device and label is the alias. Unfortunately due to a typo, the LABEL variable was not set, so all ip addresses on that device were removed.

Fix:
We have fixed the typo
Result:
Works now.

Previously, when an alias interface was brought down using the ifdown command, the LABEL variable was not set due to a typo in the ifdown-eth script. Consequently, instead of removing just addresses belonging to the alias interface, all IP addresses on the device were removed. This bug has been fixed, and the script now correctly removes only IP addresses of the alias interface in this scenario.
