| ifupdown-scripts-zg2 | Zugschlus' interface scripts for ifupdown's manual method | Mehr ... |
This package contains a set of scripts that are called by ifupdown.
They use ifupdown's manual method. Compared to ifupdown's static
method, the scripts contained in this package have the following
advantages:
- CIDR support
- ATM support
- support for 802.1q VLAN tagging
- search-and-rename ethernet interfaces according to their MAC
address
- built-in handling of static routes
Additionally, the code needed to bring down an interface is generated
on the fly when the interface is brought up. That way,
/etc/network/interfaces changes made while the interface is up don't
prevent it from being taken down, allowing "ifdown foo; ifup foo" to
activate the changes.
.
This package is work in progress. Although being in productive use,
it is still missing some features, especially regarding source
routing, metrics etc. Please feel free to provide patches.
.
This package has its upstream sources maintained in the Debian
project, so there is no upstream URL. |
