Hi,
I'm working on a script which parses "ip monitor route" output to detect
changes of the linux kernel routing table.
If an interface is brought down via ifconfig, I expected to see "deleted
<route>" messages, but they are missing for IPv4.
Is this the desired behaviour, or a bug(tm)?
IPv6:
goldfinger:~ # uname -a

^^^^^^ for each routing entry a "Deleted <route>" line :-)
IPv4:
root@mrouter4:~ # uname -a
Linux mrouter4 2.6.16-gentoo-r8 #4 PREEMPT Tue Jun 13 00:34:48 CEST 2006
i586 Unknown GNU/Linux
root@mrouter4:~ # ip -4 monitor route&
root@mrouter4:~ # ip link set tap1 up
root@mrouter4:~ # ip addr add 192.168.22.22 dev tap1
root@mrouter4:~ # ip route add 192.168.22.23 dev tap1
root@mrouter4:~ # 192.168.22.23 dev tap1 scope link
root@mrouter4:~ # ip link set tap1 down
root@mrouter4:~ #
^^^^^ no message :-(
Best regards,
