From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.10) Gecko/20070216 Firefox/1.5.0.10 Description of problem: I have 2 ethernet interfaces (both using DHCP). When I run ifup on an interface the default route and the zeroconf route are replaced to make use of that interface. But when I run ifdown on that interface the routes are removed, practically disabling both interfaces. I would expect ifdown to change the routes back to another active interface. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. /sbin/ifup eth0 2. /sbin/ifup eth1 /sbin/route shows Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 172.16.12.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 172.16.12.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 default 172.16.12.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1 3. /sbin/ifdown eth1 /sbin/route shows Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 172.16.12.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 Actual Results: the default route to the gateway is removed.
