But im not asking about this. Im asking about to "tear down" the protocol of the interface, so I can = loose all the routes of this link and the traffic switch directly to second = isp. I don=92t care really if I unplug the cable the Ethernet card remains = up, I need the routes disappear in order to switch to the other isp. I has nothing to deal with Microsoft, linux or whatever. Like this mail say, when you make a show int in cisco routers there's a = link state and a protocol state. If protocol goes down (one reason could be unplug the cable) the routes are lost. This is what I need, and additional to this, some distributions shows in = the console a link notice and some don=92t, I assume this is related to the = nic driver. -----Mensaje original----- De: netfilter-admin@lists.netfilter.org [mailto:netfilter-admin@lists.netfilter.org] En nombre de Hudson Delbert = J Contr 61 CS/SCBN Enviado el: Viernes, 11 de Junio de 2004 12:48 Para: 'netfilter@lists.netfilter.org' Asunto: RE: off topic - hope somebody can help i think cisco's 'show interface' commands are a model of what s/be displayed. these displays delinate between the functionality of the physical = interface and the protocol that should operating on them. ~piranha@usaf -----Original Message----- From: netfilter-admin@lists.netfilter.org [mailto:netfilter-admin@lists.netfilter.org]On Behalf Of Antony Stone Sent: Friday, June 11, 2004 5:01 AM To: netfilter@lists.netfilter.org Subject: Re: off topic - hope somebody can help On Friday 11 June 2004 12:42 pm, Gavin Hamill wrote: > On Friday 11 June 2004 12:29, Antony Stone wrote: > > Why shouldn't it?
