Getting rid of arp (keepalived/ipvs)

[jbruvoll]

Hi all,

I have a problem I don't seem to be able to find a solution to... we have a keepalived-based load balancing rig, where most of the boxes are old enough to still have the old network config.

Previously, lines like this were in our /etc/conf.d/net:
ifconfig_dummy0=("10.12.138.69 netmask 255.255.255.192 broadcast 10.12.138.127 -arp")

(Addresses edited slightly, but you get the hunch)

Now, however, I want to do the same thing in the new config, and I can't find any reference on how to add options, so this, for instance, creates an error:

config_dummy0=("10.12.138.69/26 brd 10.12.138.127 -arp")

Any pointers please?

Best regards
Jan

have you looked at the new /etc/conf.d/net.example ?

Yes, of course.

The closest thing I could find in the documentation was to experiment with arp_eth0="no" or similar - I cannot find anything about setting options to "ip link". (What I would like the net set-up to do is a "ip link arp off").

Am I just being blind?

Best regards
