 |
|
Hi!
I can't get my alias eth0:0 interface to work. I use it successfully on a number of gentoo boxes, but I've got a problem only with one of them. What am I doing wrong, what should I check?
/etc/conf.d/net:
| Code: | config_eth0=( "192.168.67.2/24" "192.168.67.3/24" )
routes_eth0=( "default via 192.168.67.1" )
dns_servers_eth0=( "192.168.67.2" ) |
some bash stuff:
| Code: | batou ~ # uname -a
Linux batou 2.6.28-hardened-r9-q #1 SMP Sat Dec 19 12:56:24 CET 2009 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
batou ~ # ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.67.3 up
SIOCSIFADDR: File exists
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address
batou ~ # ifcfg eth0 add 192.168.67.3
Forwarding is ON or its state is unknown (5). OK, No RDISC.
RTNETLINK answers: File exists
Error: failed to add 192.168.67.3/24 on eth0.
batou ~ # ifconfig

Do you have iproute2 installed?

yes, I do.
And it's strange - ifcfg is part of iproute2 and gentoo bootscripts (/etc/init.d/net.lo and .eth0) should use iproute to bring up the devices properly...

I would have thought so too. Might be a driver issue, can you test with another NIC to double check?

sorry, one beer to many today:
| Code: | batou ~ # ip addr show
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet 127.0.0.1/8 brd 127.255.255.255 scope host lo
inet6 ::1/128 scope host
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000
link/ether 00:18:f3:51:ad:80 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 192.168.67.2/24 brd 192.168.67.255 scope global eth0
inet 192.168.67.3/24 brd 192.168.67.255 scope global secondary eth0
inet6 fe80::218:f3ff:fe51:ad80/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN qlen 1000
link/ether 00:18:f3:51:ad:81 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

No bother. We've all had a few of those moments.
