From: Johann Spies on 6 Jul 2010 03:20 Apparently '/etc/init.d/networking restart' is depricated. It is not doing the job any more on squeeze. '/etc/init.d/ifplugd restart' ignores virtual interfaces defined in /etc/network/interfaces. So how do I get my virtual interfaces active after a reboot or restart of the network without having to do 'ifup eth0:0' by hand?

I removed it because of this documentation from the Debian Reference Manual: ===================== "Here is how to use the ifplugd package for the internal Ethernet port, e.g. eth0. 1. Remove stanza in "/etc/network/interfaces": "auto eth0" or "allow-hotplug eth0". 2. Keep stanza in "/etc/network/interfaces": "iface eth0 inet �" and "mapping �". 3. Install the ifplugd package. 4. Run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure ifplugd". 5. Put eth0 as the "static interfaces to be watched by ifplugd". =================== I did now put the 'auto eth0:0' back and did reboot the system. This time eth0:0 came up.

One way is to stop using the long-deprecated interface aliases and instead add secondary addresses to the single interface: iface eth0 inet dhcp up ip addr add W.X.Y.Z/N dev $IFACE down ip addr del W.X.Y.Z/N dev $IFACE That way, you can let ifplugd start eth0, and the above commands will add/remove the additional IP address you had set up on eth0:0 The ip(8) command is in the iproute package. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
