Description ariev3 2008-04-04 10:48:56 UTC
Description of problem:

initscripts-8.45.17.EL-1

A vlan defined on top of a bridge is not correctly initiated on boot.

cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
cat ifcfg-br0
 DEVICE=br0
 ONBOOT=yes
 BOOTPROTO=none
 TYPE=Bridge
 brctl stp br0 on

cat ifcfg-br0.3 
 DEVICE=br0.3
 BOOTPROTO=static
 TYPE=Ethernet
 ONBOOT=yes
 IPADDR=172.16.128.126
 NETMASK=255.255.255.224
 BROADCAST=172.16.128.127
 NETWORK=172.16.128.96



How reproducible:
upon each reboot

Actual results:
Delaying initialisation

Expected results:
up


Additional info:
in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup, line 65, change
if [[ "${DEVICE}" =~ '^(eth|bond)[0-9]+\.[0-9]{1,4}$' ]]; then

into

if [[ "${DEVICE}" =~ '^(eth|bond|br)[0-9]+\.[0-9]{1,4}$' ]]; then

fixes it

Bridge devices aren't necessarily only named br*, so that's not good enough.
