Pick the default network interface

I have a server with 2 interfaces. eth0 is 100 times faster than eth1. Though for some reason, every reboot, the default interface is picked at random. To make things more annoying, they both use the same gateway, so selecting the default gateway…

Packet captures: filtering on RX vs TX

I have a network problem where frames with a source MAC which matches with one of my host's source MACs are arriving at the host - an apparent duplicate MAC, or loop, or other L2 problem. I believe this is the situation because the MAC tables (CAM…

How do I update my /etc/network/interfaces file so the box comes up with ONLY IPv6 self-assigned address?

I apologize for this blatantly newbie-ish question, but I'd like to do this "the right way" and not just muck about until it seems to work, and the documentation I have doesn't seem to address this case. Currently, a Debian Linux box that I am…
