Qual è la differenza tra iface eth0 inet manual e iface eth0 inet static?

Qual è la differenza tra iface eth0 inet manuale iface eth0 inet static?

Grazie

iface eth0 inet static: Definisce un indirizzo IP statico per eth0

iface eth0 inet manual: Per creare un'interfaccia di rete senza un indirizzo IP. Solitamente utilizzato da interfacce che sono membri bridge o di aggregazione o su cui è configurato un dispositivo VLAN

Dai un'occhiata al file /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples/network-interfaces.gz, puoi saperne di più sul manuale e su alcuni casi da utilizzare:

# Set up an interface to read all the traffic on the network. This 
# configuration can be useful to setup Network Intrusion Detection
# sensors in 'stealth'-type configuration. This prevents the NIDS
# system to be a direct target in a hostile network since they have
# no IP address on the network. Notice, however, that there have been
# known bugs over time in sensors part of NIDS (for example see 
# DSA-297 related to Snort) and remote buffer overflows might even be
# triggered by network packet processing.

# auto eth0
# iface eth0 inet manual
#   up ifconfig $IFACE 0.0.0.0 up
#       up ip link set $IFACE promisc on
#       down ip link set $IFACE promisc off
#       down ifconfig $IFACE down

# Set up an interface which will not be allocated an IP address by
# ifupdown but will be configured through external programs. This
# can be useful to setup interfaces configured through other programs,
# like, for example, PPPOE scripts.
