primary and secondary ip addresses

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hey all-
Can anyone tell me why when removing a primary ip address from an interface, all of its associated secondary ip addresses (those addresses on the same subnet), are also removed? Theres a comment in the kernel thats pretty clear on the subject indicating it needs to be done, but I don't quite grasp the reasoning behind why.


Thanks!
Neil
