Hi all, I need to (quickly!grrr) update IP addresses for which a given machine will answer. I did this: /sbin/ifconfig eth0:0 xx.xx.xx.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 /sbin/ifconfig eth0:1 xx.xx.xx.11 netmask 255.255.255.0 /sbin/ifconfig eth0:2 xx.xx.xx.30 netmask 255.255.255.0 /sbin/ifconfig eth0:3 xx.xx.xx.31 netmask 255.255.255.0 /sbin/ifconfig eth0:4 xx.xx.xx.13 netmask 255.255.255.0 /sbin/ifconfig eth0:5 xx.xx.xx.15 netmask 255.255.255.0 /sbin/ifconfig eth0:6 xx.xx.xx.20 netmask 255.255.255.0 /sbin/ifconfig eth0:7 xx.xx.xx.21 netmask 255.255.255.0 /sbin/ifconfig eth0:8 xx.xx.xx.22 netmask 255.255.255.0 but on looking at the output of /sbin/ifconfig, I see this: [root@sunspot ray]# /sbin/ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:C5:C2:1B:01 inet addr:64.135.16.15 Bcast:64.135.16.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::200:c5ff:fec2:1b01/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:5491775 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:962501 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:436018277 (415.8 MiB) TX bytes:156248463 (149.0 MiB) Interrupt:12 Base address:0xcf00 eth0:0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:C5:C2:1B:01 inet addr:xx.xx.xx.10 Bcast:xx.xx.xx.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Interrupt:12 Base address:0xcf00 eth0:1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:C5:C2:1B:01 inet addr:xx.xx.xx.11 Bcast:xx.xx.xx.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Interrupt:12 Base address:0xcf00 eth0:2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:C5:C2:1B:01 inet addr:xx.xx.xx.30 Bcast:xx.xx.xx.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Interrupt:12 Base address:0xcf00 eth0:3 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:C5:C2:1B:01 inet addr:xx.xx.xx.31 Bcast:xx.xx.xx.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Interrupt:12 Base address:0xcf00 eth0:4 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:C5:C2:1B:01 inet addr:xx.xx.xx.13 Bcast:xx.xx.xx.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Interrupt:12 Base address:0xcf00 eth0:5 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:C5:C2:1B:01 inet addr:xx.xx.xx.15 Bcast:xx.xx.xx.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Interrupt:12 Base address:0xcf00 eth0:6 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:C5:C2:1B:01 inet addr:xx.xx.xx.20 Bcast:xx.xx.xx.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Interrupt:12 Base address:0xcf00 eth0:7 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:C5:C2:1B:01 inet addr:xx.xx.xx.21 Bcast:xx.xx.xx.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Interrupt:12 Base address:0xcf00 eth0:8 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:C5:C2:1B:01 inet addr:xx.xx.xx.22 Bcast:xx.xx.xx.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Interrupt:12 Base address:0xcf00 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:5744 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:5744 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:591811 (577.9 KiB) TX bytes:591811 (577.9 KiB) And this, in /var/log/messages [root@sunspot ray]# tail /var/log/messages Sep 7 06:50:31 sunspot avahi-daemon[2203]: Registering new address record for xx.xx.xx.15 on eth0.
