Static route config script for 2nd address none

Description Steve 2004-10-28 00:15:06 UTC 
Description of problem:
Adding static routing to a 2nd ip address on eth0 fails.  The routes 
are not added when eth0:1 is activated in the network applet

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

Create 2nd ip (192.168.220.30 nm 255.255.255.248) address on 2nd 
interface and take following steps.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Edit eth0:1 and add static route such as net 10.128.0.0 nm 
255.255.0.0 gw 192.168.220.29
2. Start eth0:1
3. run 'route -n' in terminal
  
Actual results:
Interface is up without static route

Expected results:
Interface should be up with static route.

Can you attach your static route config files?

Static route config script for 2nd address

doing an "ifup eth0:1" reports:
Cannot find device "eth0:1"
Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2004-10-30 00:48:56 UTC 
Static routes don't work for alias interfaces, actually.

You'll have to add the route to the main device.
Comment 4 Steve 2004-10-30 11:57:08 UTC 
route add -net 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.0.0 gw 192.168.220.30 dev 
eth0:1

The above works from a terminal when when eth0:1 is up!
Comment 5 Bill Nottingham 2004-10-31 04:38:13 UTC 
/sbin/route is deprecated; the ip command is used.
