 Posted: Mon Feb 16, 2009 9:11 am Post subject: Quick network display question on "ifconfig" |
 |
|
Earlier releases of Linux that I have used, and all Solaris releases show
virtual network interfaces with using the "ifconfig" command.
But Gentoo does not seem to display the virtual interfaces with "ifconfig".
It DOES work from the configuration files, just can't see them.
Anyone got a clue from just that information?
If not, here is the configuration that I did;
| Code: | /etc/init.d# ls -li net*
6879333 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 2008-09-01 21:39 net.eth1 -> net.lo
6880238 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 30696 2008-06-16 19:51 net.lo |
| Code: | /etc/conf.d# grep -v ^# net
config_eth1=( "10.10.1.10/24"
"10.10.0.10/24" )
routes_eth1=( "default via 10.10.0.1" ) |
Both IPs on "eth1" work and show up in the routing table;
| Code: | /etc/conf.d# ifconfig
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:71:12:86:2a:99
inet addr:10.10.1.10 Bcast:10.10.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

I've been using Gentoo on my new mini servers and high-end workstation for the past 1.5 years.
In other *nix I have used, you get a separate entry for each virtual interface
Here is Solaris 10 showing 2 physical interfaces, "eri0" and "eri1". Then 2 virtual interfaces,
"(currently "eri0:1" and "eri0:2"). The rest might be confusing, as I have Solaris' IPMP setup, (Internet
Protocol Mutli-Pathing).
