There are two reasons for this problem
###1. When there are two gateways, there are two gateways in IP address configuration
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.5.21
netmask 255.255.2550
gateway 192.168.5.1
# VM traffic interface
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.5.22
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.5.1
eth0
and eth1
have different IP addresses, but they have both configured gateways. At this time, after one starts, the other fails to start
RTNETLINK answers: File exists
Failed to bring up eth2.
If you still have this situation after modification, you need to refresh eth0
and eth1
ip addr flush dev eth0
ip addre flush dev eth1
ifdown eth0 && ifup eth0 && ifdown eth1 && ifup eth1
###2. When the bridge or other network is deleted and the network is changed correctly, this problem still occurs # IP addr flush dev eth0 # restart the network configuration under the condition of ensuring that the network configuration is correct
IP addr flush
also dumps all the deleted addresses in the format described in the previous subsection
