/etc/sysconfig/cipe is wrong (too much cut'n'paste? ;). There is no dynamic allocation for IPADDR or PTPADDR if they're 0.0.0.0. If IPADDR isn't defined properly, cipe will just die at startup. It'll run if PTPADDR is 0.0.0.0 but that doesn't really make much sense (and I don't think it'd work) because cipe is point-to-point by design. Perhaps it's better leave these commented.
Created attachment 2436 [details] /etc/sysconfig/cipe patch for IPADDR and PTPADDR
This will be fixed in cipe-1.4-1 and later.
