Possible bug in ifconfig regarding ip addresses and fibs

[Steven Crangle]

Aha! Just checked and net.add_addr_allfibs is set to 0, but after updating it and restarting, the issue still persists!

That bug seems to be relevant to duplicate addresses, figured I would be clear from any sort of weird behaviour with using different ones.

Either way, I think I can figure out a solution for my problem without configuring the second 124 address onto manee. I just figured I'd report here incase it was unexpected behaviour.

Might also take a look into the source too and see if anything crops up!


Thanks again for your help!


Steven

Hi Alan,


Thanks for the fast reply.

I actually think I had the fib 5 part appended to the line previously, but had somehow removed it in my repeated attempts! Either way, I just tried your solution, and it results in the same behaviour.


The initial two IP's are assigned, but the final 192.168.124.216 is not.

When i get chance, I'll try moving the mgmt IP from the 124 range to something else and repeating, as I'm sure it's some sort of interaction between manee and mgmt. Since the commands are successful if I change the final addresses IP to a different range!

Thanks


Steven


What's your value of net.add_addr_allfibs ?  If should probably be 0, depending on what exactly your trying to do.
Also, this bug might be relevant:

If you have the option of using different IP addresses, then that will definitely be the easiest solution.
