Title lnx_if: Treat only interfaces with UP and LOWER_UP (bracket info from ip address) as UP
Date Jan 14, 2021
Checkmk Edition Checkmk Raw (CRE)
Checkmk Version 1.6.0p21 2.0.0b5 2.1.0b1
Level Trivial Change
Class Bug Fix
Compatibility Compatible - no manual interaction needed

Previously we only checked <...,UP> in the bracket info and treated this interface as UP if and only if no output of ethtool is available.

Please have a look at the following scenarios and how we now determine whether an interface is UP:

  • <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> means that this interface has a link and is UP
  • <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> means that this interface is configured and ADMIN UP but has no link
  • <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> means that this interface is not configured
