ifupdown-extra - 0.28 main

This package provides a set of network testing scripts to be used together
with the ifupdown package. These scripts can:
- check the network cable before an interface is configured.
- test if an assigned IPv4 or IPv6 address is already in use in the network.
- test if default network gateways are reachable.
- setup default static routes for interfaces.
.
Additionally network static routes can also be defined globally for the
system when this is needed (e.g. for 'reject' rules) and will be
added after network initialisation.
.
This package also provides 'network-test', a script to test the network
configuration status by checking:
- Status of available interface.
- Availability of configured gateway routes.
- If host resolution is working properly (DNS checks).
- If network connectivity is working, including ICMP and web connections to
remote web servers.
