Subject: 'RTNETLINK answers: File exists' error
Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2021 08:52:19 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210310085219.GC3397@sv.lnf.it> (raw)
Sometime in my firewall (based on debian), using my custom script and
with policy routing enabled, i hit this error:
ifup vlan191
Set name-type for VLAN subsystem. Should be visible in /proc/net/vlan/config
Added VLAN with VID = 191 to IF -:eth2:-
RTNETLINK answers: File exists
Failed to bring up vlan191.
this typically happen when i 'play' with an interface (eg, i tear it up
and down many times for testing); after a bit of play (but something
suddenly) the interface go into a undefined state; interface is up (eg,
'ifconfig' return the correct data) but routing is a mess.
Sometime the only thing to do is reboot the firewall.
Probably i do something wrong in my script, but... how can i 'cleanup'
the mess without rebooting?
Thanks.
