Hello List,

I have one network card and added two IP-Adresses to it:

eth1 192.168.1.1/24 eth1:1 10.1.2.3/24

a want to use static routes on device eth1:1 and added one in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth1:1:

GATEWAY0=10.1.2.4 ADDRESS0=10.2.2.0 NETMASK0=255.255.255.0

What the network-script should execute in background is: ip route add 10.2.2.0/24 via 10.1.2.4 dev eth1

but it executes ip route add 10.2.2.0/24 via 10.1.2.4 dev eth1:1

BUT: "eth1:1" is in the "ip" command not working, "ip" throws an error ("Cannot find device eth1:1") and doesn't add the route.

Did I miss something or is it a bug in the ifup-routes script ?

----------------- Output of ifconfig eth1:1 after "ifup eth1:1":

eth1:1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0E:0E:0E:68:8B inet addr:10.1.2.3 Bcast:10.1.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Base address:0xec00 Memory:dffe0000-e0000000 ----------------------
