I think thats to be expected: The alias interfaces actually refere to the same physical interface, so if you put that down all aliased interfaces go down, too. Also i think this is not a problem of the tool but of the kernel (if at all). Read ya, Phil Additionally, i just asked on of our kernel developers: The 'old' style aliasing (which you are using) is actually really handled as separate interfaces, so ifconfig down of any of those interfaces only shuts down that interface. I just tested it on our current Beta, but the behaviour was like that since 2.4.0. So i can't reproduce your problem. It's different if you use the new aliasing method via the ip tool. There you can assigne multiple ip addresses to a single interface, and of course if you shut down that interface all assigned ip addresses will be unreachable. Read ya, Phil |
