Hello List,
After demystifying the cause for my /sbin/ifup-local not being executed by network scripts for an Ethernet interface (don't let NetworkManager control it or ifup-local won't be executed)...
... I have a question with hopefully a simple answer: I placed an alias/description on my interface during testing and now I want to remove it. But when I try to remove it, I'm either trying to do something _actually_ not supported or I don't have the proper syntax to accomplish what I want.
~]# ip link set dev eno1 alias "hit"
~]# ip link show eno1 2: eno1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP mode DEFAULT qlen 1000 link/ether 00:22:19:1e:a2:5b brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff alias hit
~]# ip link delete dev eno1 alias "hit" RTNETLINK answers: Operation not supported
Thoughts? It's mildly annoying at most.
