If I'm understanding the question correctly... to bring the link up: # ifconfig eth0:4 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx broadcast xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.xxx up to bring the link down: # ifconfig eth0:4 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx broadcast xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.xxx down and don't forget about adding new routing... # route add -host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx dev eth0:4 adjust interface names to match your install. -- Steve _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
