What procedure did you use to "migrate eth1.500 to eth1.501"? I'm guessing it was something like this: cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts mv ifcfg-eth1.500 ifcfg-eth1.501 <edit ifcfg-eth1.501 to correct reference to eth1.500> service network restart The above is pretty much what I did to recreate the issue you've reported. The deal is that the procedure is flawed. The ifdown script that needs to use vconfig to remove the old vlan interface depends on the corresponding ifcfg-* scripts to still have correct info for the "old" interface. Since (in the procedure above) ifcfg-eth1.500 no longer exists, there is no way for ifdown to run the required "vconfig rem eth1.500". I suggest this alternative procedure: service network stop cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts mv ifcfg-eth1.500 ifcfg-eth1.501 <edit ifcfg-eth1.501 to correct reference to eth1.500> service network start This should produce the desired results. Don't feel bad, I did the same thing just yesterday... :-) If this doesn't resolve the issue, then please post the exact procedure used for migrating the config so that I can get a "good" recreate. Thanks, that explains it :-) |
