Hello,
Allen Weiner a écrit :
1. Attempt to bring up interface: ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.1 up
2. Check response (ping it): ping -c 50 10.0.0.1
3. Use ifconfig to check for errors: ifconfig eth0
The rtt times reported by ping lead me to think that data was transmitted, but the RX bytes and TX bytes reported by ifconfig are both zero.
Sending packets to any local address (i.e. any address configured on any local interface of the same host) always uses the loopback interface, not the interface the address is assigned to. "ifconfig lo" should show the increasing TX and RX counters. So this test does not tell anything about the physical interface.
