However, when I run tcpdump -i oltr0 it says network is down I did a ifconfig oltr0 inet 192.168.1.1, and now it works. But can I not set an IP on it and have it up? All the machine needs to do on the token ring is monitor the rings packets via tcpdump/snort, etc. Can I do "ifconfig oltr0 ether" so that it starts the interface but doesn't set an IP, or will it need to have an IP.
