Sometime in my firewall (based on debian), using my custom script and with policy routing enabled, i hit this error: ifup vlan191 Set name-type for VLAN subsystem. Should be visible in /proc/net/vlan/config Added VLAN with VID == 191 to IF -:eth2:- RTNETLINK answers: File exists Failed to bring up vlan191. this typically happen when i 'play' with an interface (eg, i tear it up and down many times for testing); after a bit of play (but something suddenly) the interface go into a undefined state; interface is up (eg, 'ifconfig' return the correct data) but routing is a mess. Sometime the only thing to do is reboot the firewall. Probably i do something wrong in my script, but... how can i 'cleanup' the mess without rebooting? Thanks. -- dott.
