ifconfig & route
Hi.
Why ifconfig adds route in localnet when I use it to bring up my eth0
interface? Shouldn't that be done with route command after using ifconfig?
That is what is said in networking howto and in a Debian book I have. I read
manual pages for ifconfig, and there weren't a word about this feature.
Neither did I found option for switching this feature off. I have to say
that this doesn't cause any problems for me, I'm just curious.
regards,
Petteri Heinonen
