Topic

Updated initscripts packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6 Extended Update Support.

Description

The initscripts packages contain basic system scripts to boot the system, change
runlevels, activate and deactivate most network interfaces, and shut down the
system cleanly.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Prior to this update, the udev device manager called the hotplug script when a

Virtual LAN (VLAN) network was added. However, because the VLAN network has the
same default hardware address as the default network adapter device, hotplug
reverted the network adapter's IP configuration to the values in the
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ directory, and in some cases caused the network
adapter to go offline. This update removes the triggering of the hotplug script
for VLAN networks and as a result, the network adapter now retains its IP
address and thus no longer fails. (BZ#1111638)

Users of initscripts are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
