Parameter fallback_route_eth0 ignored by net.sh

Description (last modified by roy) (diff)

In /etc/conf.d/net a static fallback configuration in case of dhcp-failure can be specified with 'fallback_eth0="192.168.0.1/24.html"' and this works as expected. It is also possible to specify a fallback route 'fallback_route_eth0="default via 192.168.0.1"' but this parameter is ignored by net.sh.
For someone with a working backup connection this parameter is very useful, but if it can't be made to work, the parameter description should be removed from the example configuration file net.example.

  • Status changed from new to closed
  • Resolution set to wontfix
  • Description modified (diff)

The net.* scripts in SVN have been deprecatd in favour of a single network script.
There is no longer the concept of "fallback"

However, dhcpcd-4.99.18 is now out that allows fallback to static profiles, so you can use that instead.
