Hai xorp-users,
I am working on xorp installed on intel machines having ubuntu 8.10.My motherboard had one inbuilt NIC(Network Interface Card).This is my eth0.I have connected one more NIC to PCI of motherboard(eth1).My config.boot is as below:

interfaces{
interface eth1 {
    description: "IT LAB"
    mac: 00:9d:dd:dd:e0:5c 
    disable: false
    vif eth1 {
      disable: false
      address 10.64.25.77{
        prefix-length: 16
        broadcast: 10.64.255.255
        disable: false
        }
    }
  }
interface eth0 {
    description: "PLC LAN"
    mac: 00:1c:c0:12:f2:f1     
    disable: false
    vif eth0 {
      disable: false
      address 172.16.0.1 {
        prefix-length: 24
        broadcast: 172.16.0.255
        disable: false
        }
    }
 }
}

fea {
  unicast-forwarding4 {
    disable: false
  }
}
plumbing {
  mfea4 {
    disable: false
    interface eth0 {
      vif eth0 {
        disable: false
        }
    }
 interface eth1 {
      vif eth1 {
        disable: false
        }
      }
    
    interface register_vif {
      vif register_vif {
        /* Note: this vif should be always enabled */
        disable: false
        }
    }
    traceoptions {
      flag all {
        disable: false
        }
    }
  }
}
protocols {
  static {
    route 0.0.0.0/0 {
      next-hop: 10.64.1.1
      metric: 1
      qualified-next-hop 10.64.25.1 {
        metric: 10
         }
      }
  }
}

When it is entering mfea4 module,this is the error I am facing:


Interface enabled Vif[eth1] pif_index: 2 vif_index: 1 Flags: MULTICAST BROADCAST MTU: 1500 DOWN IPv4 ENABLED
[ 2009/04/22 10:46:47  ERROR xorp_fea:10441 MFEA +1180 mfea_node.cc start_vif ] Cannot start vif eth1: underlying vif is not UP

and after this it is getting exited.Please help me out.

Thanks in advance
Naresh
