To alias an IP onto your NIC, just run: ip addr add aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd/YY dev ethX (in this case, /YY is the CIDR notation for netmask bits) To list the ip addresses running on your NICs, run: ip addr To remove an IP address, just run: ip addr del aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd/YY dev ethX I used to use the sub-interface methodology, as well, until I discovered the "ip" command round about RHL9 or one of the Fedora Core products...I've been using it, now, for about 7-8 years, on my Fedora server and on my IPCop firewall. Works like a charm, and keeps my ifconfig output fairly clean (don't have to weed through 25 sub-interfaces if I don't want to). -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Visit the Dog Pound II BBS telnet://dogpound2.citadel.org or http://dogpound2.citadel.org To be notified of updates to the web site, visit: https://www.bubbanfriends.org/mailman/listinfo/site-update or send a blank email message to: site-update-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
