Rick Stevens responded:
"eth3:sub1" isn't an interface, it's an alias. The
interface name is
the bit before the ":" (or "." in the case of a VLAN).
If you were to do a "netstat -rn", you'd only see "eth3" as a
network
device. You wouldn't see "eth3:sub1" listed.
Thanks. And you are obviously correct, technically. But this command
worked as I expected on earlier versions of Fedora. We now have many
procedures with such commands embedded and were surprised to discover
they no longer work on F20. Why was it changed?
