Hi,
ah. So I can do failover without having to up/down an IP? I can have
the IP on the machine all the time (with demons listening to that IP)
and just change the link state?
Theoretically :).
how does a demon bind to a non-local IP? Do you mean to an IP on another
machine? How will the demon ever get packets for that IP?
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_nonlocal_bind is your friend in that situation.
And sometimes application level proxies run that way. For example you
can configure the SuSE ftp-proxy to work in fully transparent mode.
I almost threw up the first time I was presented with ip/tc a couple years ago.
It's still unscriptable
Hmm, I doubt it ...
The output of `ip addr show` gives the MAC brd formatted with colons eg
ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
I then needed to feed the brd to some command that needed the brd without
colons
ffffffffffff
So?
First: What's the difference between ifconfig and ip regarding your
described problem?
Second: What's wrong with the following command line?
awk '/ether/ {print gensub(":","","G",$4)}' < <(ip link show dev eth0)
This looks very much scriptable to me :)
I'll have another couple of beers now. Merry X-Mas,
