Description John Bass 2001-02-25 21:34:24 EST

After upgrading from RH6.x to RH7.0 static routes for aliased interfaces
are no longer applied at boot time, or when the interfaces are manually
started/stopped with ifup/ifdown.

Comment 1 chris 2001-03-05 05:33:06 EST

This seems to be caused by a bug in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-aliases
which looks for static routes via the parent interface instead of the aliased
one.  I think the attached patch fixes.

Patch to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-aliases to correct static routes

Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2001-03-05 12:27:31 EST

Will be fixed in 5.70-1; thanks!

Comment 4 chris 2001-05-22 05:20:03 EDT

It looks like this still hasn't been fixed in the initscripts-5.83-1 which comes
with RH7.1, or the initscripts-5.86-1 currently in RawHide.

Thanks,
Chris.

Comment 5 Bill Nottingham 2001-05-22 16:19:19 EDT

In what way?  The code is changed as described above.

Do note, support for *incorrectly formed* static route entries
(as linuxconf has generated in the past) was dropped.

Comment 6 chris 2001-05-23 05:00:01 EDT

No, it isn't.  In 5.83-1, line 278 of ifup-aliases says:

  grep "^$1 " /etc/sysconfig/static-routes | while read device args; do

It hasn't been patched.  If it had, it would say:

  grep "^$DEVICE " /etc/sysconfig/static-routes | while read device args; do

Comment 7 Bill Nottingham 2001-05-23 10:17:29 EDT

Aack, you're right. Sorry about that.
This will get fixed in 5.88-1.
